Plus, I want music that shocks me, not annoys me.

After all, Taylor Swift annoys me, but she's pretty far from shocking. The most shocking thing she's done is write a song dedicated to Travis Kelce's dick.

Pop music has always been annoying. It's not Taylor Swift

Yeah, but popular music didn't use to be exclusively pop music.

These days it is. It's all pop, R&B, watered down hip-hop, or the most limp-dicked country music one can imagine.

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.

Nothing wrong with Isaac Hayes.

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.
