The glorification of “thug” culcha in society. The music just reflects that today. Everything is shallow and all about doing what feels good now

You got older.

Because cash money records and no limit soldiers, 2 of the biggest music name brands in the 90s, never reflected “thug culcha”

There were even more shite songs you don't remember. And some of the "good" ones are crap too.

Most new pop music and country is terrible and formulaic nowadays.

There are a number of reasons but you can start with consolidation and over-corporatization of FM radio.

Glorification of instant gratification and the complete corporate studio takeover of music and radio and TV is the answer. It started in the 80s but it culminated in the early 2000s and continues today.

I mean can you name a radio station or TV channel that just plays new and diverse music? Everything has been corporately compartmentalized and sterilized and washed out to filter down the the most bland generic nonsense.

It takes years of hard work and dedication to form a rock band and become elite at your instruments and find your sound and make songs, etc.... It take time and dedication to learn to rap and flow perfectly, etc...

The studios and radios stopped investing in that and turned to what makes them a quick buck, which for rock is an easily marketed and average solo or group of musicians playing songs and music written by someone else or a pop idol singing into an autotuner with a Mac behind them or brocountry which is basically the same song and same chord progression recycled ad nauseum.

They don't take a chance on new and risky musicians because some frick heads in a board room can't see past the quick buck and the bottom line.

There's still some good music being made out there, but it's solidly overwheled by the sheer amount of dog shite pumped out and promoted over it and it's annoyingly hard to find because there's no standard public outlet for it

Life got really good and easy for everyone. Look at what the average person in poverty has.

The world is awesome. You don’t have to struggle for much. When there isn’t much struggle all music is basically Pop.
