Top 10 Reasons Why Modern Music Sucks

It's official. Modern music is absolutely horrible. And this isn't a broad statement, this is straight up fact! Music is just getting worse and worse. Do they really think most of us out here care about partying, sex, and drugs?
The Top Ten
1 Most songs on the radio are about drugs, sex, partying, and butts

Don't get me wrong, I love me a butt song every now and then. But when they begin to outnumber the actual songs with meaning, something is seriously wrong.

So true every new rap song is about the same thing, drugs, sex, guns, and all that crap.

Have you ever listened to Adele, Bruno Mars or even Ariana Grande

2 Artists become famous based on image, not musical talent

They are basically this image of an performer which the media blows up as how everyone should be, and they blow up being complete pieces of human garbage.
Influencing kids to like trash and act like trash.
Just look at Bad Barbie or Soundcloud Rappers hell even pop singers are just performers not artists. Puppets that put on a stupid show to reel in money from stupid people.
Music is supposed to inspire have passion a soul to it. It's like capitalists took the soul out of music and turned it into a system of complete control where real artists don't count and just performers put on a show.

There not even pretty

3 No effort or soul put into songwriting

I mean Eminem's songs have meaning but rock is still better

That's too terrible! I wish everyone agreed. - Kieran Stark

That's true, this could totally make a music crash of 2018

4 Music genres going downhill
5 Overuse of Autotune

This literally ruins everything for me. I understand that it can be embarrassing if your voice cracks in a song. But singers shouldn't be that scared of mucking up. There are some singers who are not good singers, but they didn't autotune their voice, they just sang like themselves.

Only a weakling uses it! It needs to be banned!

6 The only genres you hear on the radio today are pop, rap, and country

I can't run errands without hearing "artist" like Taylor Swifter Jet, Sam I am Granny Smith, Retardi B, Lizzo, or others playing full on blast!

This is true but wasn't it the same 20 years ago?

7 None of the songs give you good feeling, relaxation, goosebumps, etc.
8 Music artists do pop covers of rock songs.

Exactly what happened when Twenty One Pilots did a cover of Cancer by My Chemical Romance. I don't have a problem with the TOP version, but the My Chemical Romance version is much better, but unfortunately, the TOP version much more popular.

One good example is Pentatonix's song being remake of "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" By the andrew sisters. I swear that if patty saw it, she would sue them.

Making the original version unknown

9 Arrangements are oversimplified and formulaic
10 No more Rock/metal songs

Not on the surface level. You can find a lot of rock and metal bands. Example: go to bandacamp (a variety of different music genres, old and new, underground or popular).

Oh no!
1. There is, there always will be rock/metal music. Metal is actually still one of the most popular genre among teenage boys in the 2010s, and rock is a very general concept that will always allow to bring some novelty in the mix.
2. You act like rock/metal were the only good genre. Sure, it isn't pop, but rock did not exist before the 1950s-1960s and it does not make traditional music "suck".
3. The people who claim there is no rock music in the 2010s mostly do not bring any effort to searching for some.

The Contenders
11 It brainwashes kids

This does not make too much sense. Every music can brainwash people if they become servant-like fans. There were Michael Jackson fans who committed suicide after his death, and he's not modern music.

12 Little to no “real” instruments

Dubstep sucks

13 Redundant and cliche lyrics...
14 The modern music makes no sense

The majority of nowdays music have no sense. Rappers like 6ix9ine, Juice WRLD don't write songs that has sense like Eminem does. Also Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber's songs sucks because there's no sense. OK, Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart" is a repetition but has sense. For me, a 13-year-old guy, I prefer much Elsa Lughini's "T'en va pas" from 1986 than Luis Fonsi's "Despacito", because the writers that helped Elsa to do the song worked hard to make sense-which is the divorce saw by a little girl-and it has also emotion.

15 A lot of modern songs distort the singer's voice
16 It isn't fun anymore
17 Bad songs get more popular
18 All you hear is dubstep, rap, and pop
19 No good artists
20 It's targeted towards girls only
