My Thoughts on Mainstream Music:
Honestly, I don't really care. I used to listen to a lot of music when I was younger, but now it mostly makes me feel overstimulated. I have a select few bands I listen to and even then I rarely listen. The only type of music I can listen to without feeling overstimulated and just plain overwhelmed anymore is classical music, and sometimes even that is too much.
I do think that music over the last 30 years has progressively gotten worse and worse. Lyrics now are virtually meaningless and often just really trite and even stupid. The majority of folks that become famous have no talent other than looking "hip" and having appeal to teenagers. When I do listen to the radio in the car, most of the time I'm just like, "WTF is this nonsense?!"
I think it's really sad that it's becoming so commercial and sold out. Music is supposed to be about passion and emotion and basic human response, not about making money and churning out album after album with rubbish lyrics and mediocre instrumentals.
Damn, I sound like an old lady, but it's how I feel.
