Oh my fucking god I just wanted to say how otherworldly bad music is right now (pop has always been stupid to varying levels but oh my fucking god they have raised the stakes). I just listened to a bunch of pop tracks from various genres and I literally think I'm about to die. Rock, country, indie, folk, hipster white rap, whatever you call home, is aggressively bad. It's like Walmart made a gun that can shoot cum and blood and piss and shit and puke into your soul. We are so fucking fucked. I want to saw my own head off.

This is as wrong as a take ever has been. More novel, vibrant, gorgeous, complex and engaging music is being produced today than at any time in history.

Banal, commercial pop music was inescapable throughout all decades of the last century. The classics of bygone eras are remembered in finite lists only as the uncountable middling efforts of thousands of shit acts fade from view. This is true of all art and media.

If you want to find current music that speaks to you, put in the effort. I mean that in an encouraging sense really, and don't want to dismiss your post out of hand.
