Distressing trends in modern pop music
idontunderstand:
I'd like some kind of explanation as to why it's "distressing". I mean, a lot of the stuff mentioned here I hate too, but I don't really find it distressing. Distressing would indicate it somehow scares me that most kids like to listen to music with dynamic range compression and stupid lyrics. And I don't. They can listen to whatever the fuck they want.
Thrillho:
I think maybe our definitions of 'pop' are differing, when I say pop I'm referring to 'anything that's not jazz or classical' pretty much.
As far as what you guys are calling pop, that is to say, the radio, I'd say that pop music is as bad now as it has been for decades, no worse.

simply a different kind of bad :P
Thrillho:
Exactly. Different, not better or worse. And there is great pop music in any decade, and there are great non-pop songs with pop elements (structure, chorus, melody, hook).

Yes, absolutely. In the wise words of Nicki Minaj, "I beez in the trap." How can anyone argue with that?
