Pop music in general turns me off now. There's only so much that can be said in three to five minutes on a 4-4 beat, and the last 50 years have been devoted to saying it. The form has been exhausted.
(Of course, my secret hope is that I'll be proved wrong).
I'm going back. Tired of new music.

Perhaps they won't return, and start listening to other forms of music instead. It's not a given that kids will always like pop songs.Tatertot wrote:Of course, there will always be more and more kids that aren't sick of pop music yet, even if they will eventually tire of it in their middle age before returning to their old favorites in the nostalgia of their later years.
There are a million things out there, and pop is just one of them. The near-death of intelligent pop music is not that big a deal. It just means that tastes will change. None of us were destroyed by the death of swing.

If you hate all modern music you're not listening to the right station. There's a bajillion things out there that you haven't heard to dismiss them and go back to the preprogrammed 70's FM is to cheat yourself.

Take the WXYC challenge. Listen for a day. A particular DJ might suck, but the next one on won't. If you don't like what's on now, wait five minutes.
I had thrown away a receiver (a nice one, by the by, and I'm kicking myself now), because I'd given up on radio ever being useful. And then my world changed radically.
