So true. I used to listen to music, but IMHO, 99% of what I hear these days is crap.
One interesting thing I noticed is when I stopped by a beer/burger joint (last year) I used to spend a few hours visiting in College (Class of 83), they still played the same music when I went there, 25 years ago. That ought to say something!
Corporate dweebs from radio get together with corporate dweebs from the record companies and they have a 3 minute piece of crap to squeeze in between commercials. Both are losing money and can’t figure out that they are the problem. People can get what they want elsewhere and they do. Yes, in the bars, these young people are still playing songs that were big when I was a teenager in the 60s because all the new stuff is worthless in country, rock or whatever other genre you can name.
