Lali ho!
I hve a very simple question for everyone. Why is modern music such lazy generic garbage?
Don't get me wrong. I know music is all down to personal taste and I'm open to considering that this is just my personal opinion. But to me, modern music is almost all lazy, generic, paint-by-numbers crap that all sounds the same and all has damn near the same lyrics. All this 'rap' about how much money somebody you've never heard of has, and how they're such a 'baller', whatever the fuck that means. I get that music, like all art, goes through peaks and valleys. But it's pretty hard to deny that we're in a valley right now. I'm not saying that all old music is good by default, every era has its fair share of utter shite. But the major sticking point for me is this;
Name one song from the last five years that will be thought of in decades to come the same way we all see songs like Bohemian Rhapsody, November Rain, Stairway to Heaven, etc.
Seriously. Name ONE song that people will look back on as a defining piece of music from the modern era. Hell, make it the last ten years to be on the safe side. I've been trying all day and I can't think of a damn thing.
Thoughts? Opinions? Maybe some examples of modern music that WON'T make my ears tear themselves from my face and run for the hills? 'cause in my new job we have the radio on in the office, and if I hear any more songs like 'Bimmer' by Tyler The Creator (arguably weaponized brown noise to reduce the surplus population) then the work radio is going out the damn window.
