Top Ten Reasons Why Modern Kids Only Like Pop Music

The Top Ten
1 Kids listen to modern pop because they think it's trendy

Even though I'm 14 and not necessarily a kid anymore, this is quite inaccurate, because most of my friends prefer rock and metal. Don't get me wrong, I do often listen to pop music I listened to in my childhood (I was born in 2004), and I like listening to Ed Sheeran, but mostly, one of my favourite genres is rock.

The kids nowadays don't have their opinions. They just blindly follow trends even though the music sucks. That makes me think that "trendy" is a huge insult to humanity.

Ugh I find this so annoying. Literally some of my classmates said Eminem sucks and they prefer a guy screaming about his new car (KSI Lamborghini) - Unnamed Google User Remade

This was me when I was 11 years old. Luckily, I eventually outgrew my normal phase and became the person I truly am when I was 13.

2 Kids don't really listen to other genres

I'm a teenager and at least half of my friends prefer rock and metal bands. I like modern singers like Adele, Marina And The Diamonds and Ed Sheeran, who are actually good, but in general, I listen to 80s and 90s songs more than most modern pop. And I also listen to piano music. Surely, some kids today mostly listen to pop music, but not all of us. Some of us prefer other genres.

Not true, I usually listen to Panic! At The Disco, and I'm a teenager.

I am a girl and I am fun of listening other types of music.

3 Kids only know the modern pop artists

I'm 10 and I know michael jackson

Because they are idiots!

4 Kids don't like actual music with meaning

I know this list isn't meant to be offensive, but I'm a kid and I can't help but be offended. I absolutely hate modern pop music. It has no meaning, and it's just the same thing over and over and over. I like artists like Green Day, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Panic! At The Disco, and Twenty-one Pilots.

Modern pop songs are generic and lack meaning, while the songs I listen to have exactly what pop music today is lacking.

I think a song does not have to have meaning in order to be good. It's not all about lyrics.

5 Kids keep on singing pop songs

The only relevant item on the list.

6 Kids don't understand what they are saying
7 They think real rappers are boring
8 They go to modern pop concerts only
9 They don't know what instruments they play

Kids listen to pop without knowing what instruments were played, they can't recognise instruments bwahaha

10 They have never heard any of the classics

I think they have. There are people who prefer pop music even when they know what the classics are like.

The Contenders
11 They grew up with it more

Yeah I mean it's understandable. But not all kids like pop music (depends on what you call a kid). Most people don't listen to much music until late middle school. Before that, you generally like what your parents like. In high school, people generally have their own tastes. And pop fans are not even the majority there. There are many rap fans, hardcore rap fans, rock fans, electronic fans, metal fans (always with their t-shirts)... There is diversity. DON'T CARICATURE.

Yeah, true with a lot of my classmates, including me. Although, while I did grow up with modern pop music (I grew up with MJ's music too but that doesn't count), I ended up not liking most of it anymore.

Like me. But not all pop music is great.

12 Kids are listening always to the same type of music

Parents need to introduce a variety of music genres for children from 3-7 years of age

13 They don't know what rock music is
14 Good songs are rarely played on the radio

I keep hearing garbage songs played on the radio instead of good ones.

15 They are in the same generation as they are

I'm in the same generation and I don't listen that much pop.

16 It's their taste
