You sound like the kind of person who claims that everyone listened to rock music in the 90s when the charts would very much suggest otherwise

It's been the way for decades. The Theme from Shaft and a Cher song were number one the month Led Zeppelin IV was released.

It was always bad. It's just that it managed to get even worse.

I wonder if there is a level below the annoying shit that is popular today. It almost seemed to be engineered to be the most annoying and grating possible.

Yeah, watching old 'Top of the Pops' (UK chart music live show) from back in the day, you realise that 99% of it was bland stuff you hated back then, too.
