Why is today’s mainstream music so cuckold?

Every time I hear that “Say you won’t let go” song, I want to throw up in my mouth. Not only in mainstream pop but country is full of pussies that write worship women songs. When Ed Sheeran is the biggest rock star on the planet, we have a problem. Why are Imagine Dragons even a thing? That shite is terrible.

It’s completely pathetic and pathetic wonder if there’s a such thing and masculinity in music anymore.

Because the target demographic is millennial girls.

I think a lot of it has to do with commercialization. As time goes on we seem to try and squeeze every last penny out of everything. This isn't the best approach with music. It breeds fads and gimmicky stuff rather than timeless classic tunes. The good stuff will always win in the long run though.

The word "timeless" will never be associated with anything the millennials ever put on the radio.

Same thing the generation before you said about your music. The cycle continues.

Well I like real music, not mumbled over noise so I don’t really listen to rap.

I also prefer to listen to musicians with a higher than 36 IQ so that rules out 95% of Rappuhz

Katy Perry - Swish Swish

360 million views.

They are pushing the boundaries of what constitutes a song.

Mainstream pop music has been awful for a while now. At least Lady Gaga years back sang songs.

Both, really. Pretty even split. It just seems like most pop music is aimed at girls.

I’m not sure that there is anything as annoying as society latching onto a word/concept (cuckold) and feeling self-righteously hip and insightful when they use it.

In other words: once you said “cuckold,” I started pointing and laughing.

Yeah, I find it hard to take someone using the word "cuck" seriously at this point. Other than that, this thread mostly reads like older people bitching about millennials, which if I was interested in reading, I would just go to the OT.

When I read this thread this fricking guy popped into my head.

Brett Young


All of his fricking songs are pussy whipped bitch anthems. He is clearly a creation of the Nashville machine to appeal to the teenage girl millennial men don’t have dicks market.

Stop listening to pop on the radio. There is a ton of good new music out there. You just need to be a music fan and follow the right artists instead of taking what is offered to teenage girls

So many listed in your response.

And I’m not into the hipster stuff like Titus andronicus, etc. I mean, I like some of their stuff but it’s not exactly what I am looking for.

My generation had bands like Fleetwood Mac, Chicago, The Eagles and Journey on the radio routinely. No one will be listening to Shape of You or anything by Taylor Swift in 20-30 years.

EXACTLY!!!
It’s like SJW or alpha. I have never, ever heard someone say those words in real life. And I deal with all kinds of people in my job.
I mean, I assume if you write these words on the web, you’re an immature braying jackass that still lives with Mommy and Daddy and they’re paying for your internet service.
