Here’s some fresh negativity: Can we just admit that pop music is in the most dire state imaginable? I mean if you hear a good song now-a-days it practically breaks your ear —
Depends on your definition of "pop" - if you mean purely music that's currently popular, perhaps. But there's a LOT of amazing music still being released, it's just not all necessarily making it to the mainstream ears.
