It's not that I feel there is NO good music being made today. Love most of Taylor Swift's and much of Katy Perry's stuff. And Colbie is probably my favorite artist of the last 15 years... although she's overdue.
I should go on record as saying I'm not one of those Boomers who expects music to be "deep". But I do need a catchy melody, of the sort that can wake me out of a sound sleep and stay in my head all day. That, in my opinion, is what's missing from so much of music today. The last era with music as bland in that way was... the 1950s. The last 1T.
Given that the next 1T is possibly as little as 5 years away, we can expect more of the same for a long, long time... sadly.
