No. Maybe he just doesn't like Taylor Swift?

Geezer here.
I don't think music today is better or worse. I do believe it's different, and some people do not tolerate different, be it food, music, or cultures.
For example, this is new stuff, and it is very good, IMHO. Not classic, but it hasn't been around a zillion years. Yet.
The Beatles had 20 # 01 hits in their short span (1964-1970), so they straddled both the Pop World and the Iconic Classic Rock World. Point is well taken though. My favorite musical artist is Joe Jackson, but he only had a handful of hits - while knocking out incredible album after album with an eclectic assortment of sounds.I think we forget what songs were popular back in the day. To me a couple of the greatest times in music were the late '60s and the mid '80s, but the music that made those eras great weren't necessarily the pop hits.
For example, in 1985 there were seminal albums from artists like The Smiths, Tom Waits, the Replacements, REM, INXS, Husker Du, Run DMC, LL Cool J, Kate Bush, the Cure, New Order, and the Jesus and Mary Chain. None of those bands had a song on the Billboard's Top 100 singles for 1985.
Look at 1967. There were albums from the Doors, Jimi Hendrix, the Velvet Underground, Pink Floyd, the Kinks, Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Who. Guess how many songs from those bands made the Top 20 Billboard hits of the year? Only one, Light My Fire by the Doors.
I'd say the Top 40 hits of then are at around the same level as the hits of today. I have three sons in their early 20s who share a lot of unique and innovative music being produced today. Some I like. Some I don't. But there are innovative new sounds out there if you look for it.
yes, of course us cool guys never admitted to listening or liking pop music, but secretly we did. I guess that is another thread on CF.And wasn't it called "pop" at the time...as was the 80s music that people refer too...I mean..."pop" music is what is popular at that particular time...right? If it is in the Top 100...
Pretty sure that Meat Puppets song has been around a zillion years.
They were pretty hardcore punk back then on the SST label with Black Flag etc.True, but that's a new release, according to YouTube Music.
Also, never heard of them in the 70's era cited by the OP.
Yep!They were pretty hardcore punk back then on the SST label with Black Flag etc.
