Then it's cringeworthy, like the topic title says.

Those types who brag about not knowing new artists like it's an accomplishment are cringeworthy, sure, but I just don't follow popular music and I'm not saying that like it's necessarily a good thing that I don't. I just don't. I'm in my 30s and just like what I like. I have nothing really against popular music. It's just not for me. How is that cringeworthy or a problem somehow?

One thing I can't stand is current Metalheads thinking their bands are the shit when they sound like shit when its all undecipherable growls and pointless noise, I get some people may like that weird aggressiveness, but it sounds incredibly pointless.

lmao

This has been said since the early 90s. It's never been true and it probably never will be.

You'll find, as you get older, that not letting your tastes calcify is something that takes some effort.
This. It's a real struggle, too.

With that being said, the majority of shit pumped out by garbage apps like SoundCloud is straight up not worth anyone's time.

Admittingly I used a broad brush, but it is true to a degree with some fanbases.

Not suggesting all of them are shit really.

For one thing, "pointless noise" is just a generic insult for shit you're not into, there's very little in even the most extreme forms of metal that doesn't have riffs, clear patterns to the vocals, rather than just random banging around. Beyond that though it's not like extreme metal is the only type that has existed since the early 90s, pretty much every sub-genre has been alive and relatively well at pretty much all times.

People are writing songs as good as Let it be?
When I find myself in times of trouble, Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
And in my hour of darkness she is standing right in front of me
Speaking words of wisdom, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be
Whisper words of wisdom, let it be
And when the broken hearted people living in the world agree
There will be an answer, let it be
For though they may be parted, there is still a chance that they will see
There will be an answer, let it be
Let it be, let it be, let it be, let it be

And when the night is cloudy there is still a light that shines on me
Shinin' until tomorrow, let it be
I wake up to the sound of music, Mother Mary comes to me

There have always been stuck-up bitches in music circles acting like new/different music personally fucked them in the butt and killed their children. Rock vs Disco is one of the most famous examples of this, "mass-produced dance music for brain-dead morons to dance to like zombies" vs "excellent riffs and lyrics that tackle unjust social norms for the revolutionaries". Nevermind the rock music that was total trash and the disco music that was pretty good, and the subtext of disco/dance/funk music stemming from black musicians and being popular with non-straight, non-white crowds. Rock fans also picked on grunge, hair metal and metalcore as weaker substitutions for rock music as their own "pure" genre slowly slid further into the shitter.

The problem with some fart-brained boomer shitting on modern music they don't like is that there is music they'd probably like if they looked for it. They just don't, either because they expect it to be served to them on a silver plate or because they find the prospect of milking this year's Lil Xan for jokes a more appealing process. There's a real sense of entitlement and narcissism to people who take a position of "this music is indicative of society's decline!" - it's annoying, and the people who engage with that are fucking morons. Old heads are fucking cringe when it comes to modern music for the most part.

This came out a week ago and I think it fucks. Boomer music fans can either seek shit like this out, or they can get laughed down for doing yet another mumble rap takedown by comparing Lil Xan to Pink Floyd or whatever the fuck.

Eh thats because you have no idea what a good song is lol. Thats Lennon/McCartney. Lauded as probably the greatest songwriters of all time for good reason, and also the most covered song catalogue of all time by other musicians and artists.The song came to McCartney after a dream he had where his deceased mother told him not to cry and to Let it be

yall be some haters

When it comes down to it older gens always hate on new things younger people enjoy. Readinf was frowned upon by adults once. Then tv then video games. I laugh at tv/movie people who look down on video games though cause video games now days are kinda like tv/movies but you somewhat control it and it requires some level of thinking/decision making abilities reflexes etc. So they are hating on something that requires more skill than their hobby basically.

That said Jacob Collier isnt a great songwriter IMO, but he can do everything else and does have some good ones.

I feel like he's in his ADHD creative phase, where he has all of this insane precocious talent but he's just throwing it all out in every song like he has creativity tourettes or something. I'm interested to see how he matures and learns to slow down and just write a song.

Finding decent music is like panning for gold. It takes a hell of a lot of work and sifting through 20 tons of shit before you get a few glittering grains. And for God's sake, don't rely on radio stations to find it for you.

Every generation has to go through the same ordeal.

It's possible it's because I'm the sort of person who'll give a load of random stuff a hearing without knowing anything about it, and judge it on the first ten seconds. Turns out there is so much shit out there than I wouldn't give any longer than ten seconds.

There were gems of course, but as far as popular music goes:

Rap and pop were probably at their worst. A step down compared to the 90s, but they would improve a lot by the end of the decade and now are better than ever.

Rock was mostly Numetal or pop punk, which dont really hold up and are only really listened to ironically now.

I listened to a lot of metal at the time, but that genre is practically dead.
