Mainstream music is TRASH nowadays!

Is it just me or has mainstream music turned into this soulless, auto-tuned money grab? Gone are the days of raw talent and meaningful lyrics. Now it's all about catchy hooks and looks. Remember the punk scene of the '70s and '80s? THAT was music with a message! These so-called 'artists' nowadays wouldn’t last a minute on the old-school stage.

lol, okay boomer. Enjoy your dusty records and let us enjoy our 'soulless' bangers. Music evolves, get over it. Or keep crying into your 8-tracks hahaha.

I get what you're saying about lyrics. It feels like no one cares about what they're saying anymore, just that it sticks in your head. It's not 'bad', just different. But for those who crave a story or a message, it's definitely a letdown.

You can thank the digital age for this. Everything is so accessible that it's diluted the pool. You don't need to be good, just viral for a minute. It's sad cuz you can't find the new '70s punk scene if it's buried under a pile of TikTok tracks.

As a musician, I've gotta say, it's not black and white. There's still good music, it's just not mainstream anymore. The industry is about making $$, so of course, they're gonna play it safe with catchy pop. Btw, ever heard of Greta Van Fleet? They're bringing back that classic rock vibe.

I see where ur coming from but not all modern music is bad. There's still talent out there, genres like EDM are pushing boundaries and creating new sounds. Maybe the problem isn't the music but the industry pushing the same formula again & again.

Man, you hit the nail on the head. Remember the likes of The Clash, The Ramones, and Dead Kennedys? Music had a soul. These modern 'hits' just lack that same fight and spirit. It's all too sanitized and commercial. Once music became a 'product', it lost that essence of being a reflection of society's struggles and triumphs.

honestly, I hear ya but I also think you're looking at the past with rose-colored glasses. There's still good music out there, you just gotta look past the top 40! Not every new artist is auto-tuned to death, okay?

Totally agree with you. Music used to be about the message and the raw energy. Now it's all about showbiz and what sells. I miss the days when music was an explosion of creativity and rebellion.
