Every generation: “I know all the generations before me have whined about the new music the kids are listening to, and I always correctly identified their whining as pathetic old-person behavior. But MY generation is actually right. The new music objectively sucks.”
It’ll happen to the current batch of kids, too.
Nobody will ever rise above it. It’s just a basic part of human nature. You m ight as well ask people to stop breathing.
That’s kinda missing the point. I am aware my taste in music is not the same as the new generation, still I hear and discover new music that’s actually interesting.
On the other hand, Spotify misses the opportunity to actually offer you discovering new genres, artists, songs that you may like. That’s OPs point, and I agree.
The last time a streaming service actually made me discover new music was 2015 Deezer.
Selection bias is huge too. You could argue that the current hits suck, and that the current hits have always sucked in every era. Lots of them do, they’re disposable trash music.
The difference is that we don’t remember half the garbage that hit the charts when we were young, only the good stuff survives. When I play classic bangers for my daughter, she thinks they’re awesome. Some of those tracks are older than me, but with streaming services and huge libraries “hits” don’t really matter that much when we can now listen to the best tracks picked out of a century of recorded music.
I’m nearly 40 and I like to blast some of the current hits, I like stuff from the 90s and I like classic rock, funk and some of the really old jazz and blues stuff. There’s no reason to act like your age has to determine your musical taste.
I have no time for some of the modern rappers with no skill though, that stuff is objectively trash when we grew up with legends like Outkast, Eminem etc lol
Blah, blah, blah, just a bunch of music snob nonsense, spewing from your keyboard.
Just stop being a music snob. It’s better and easier. You’re NEVER going to convince people to start hating the music that they like. And if you do, that’s just fucking sad for everyone involved.

Meh, I always hated my generations music. But that is just me cause the others of course love it.
Ahh, so you became a hipster snob EARLY. Lots of people do. It’s fine. I mean, it’s not curable, but neither is most of life.
Having taste isn’t being a snob
Disliking slop is no vice
Having taste = guides what you consume.
Talking about having taste = snobbery.
Fact.
Actually I rose above it! Everything I like is great and everything I don’t like is shit. Simple.

Nah, music of my generation also sucks too.
I AM THE ONLY ONE WITH GOOD TASTE!! Muuuu hahahahaha!
Academically, they proved music peaked in the 60s.

All art should be criticized, and bad art should certainly be criticized
And bad art that was made with the immense backing of the status quo should be especially criticized.
Does Canada have music? I thought it was just moose calls and beaver drumming?
Gregorian chanting of “I’m soory” is their national anthem I thought
That’s music, right?
And it’s awesome. 🤘
