So, I've been listening to Weird Al's Mandatory Fun. I found his take on CSN, The Pixies, the Foo Fighters and Cat Stevens to be accessible and well done. What I'm wondering about is the rest of the songs. Aside from Royals by Lorde, I actually hadn't even heard most of them. So, I decided to spend some time acquainting myself with the pop music of today.
And, it's terrible! I mean, it has been bad for a few years now. But, really? Blurred Lines? Try watching that video with your eyes closed and tell me if you still enjoy it.
I'm not saying that good music isn't being made. I'm well aware of that it's being made, but simply not marketed to the masses. What I'm wondering is how anybody can even enjoy listening to Robin Thicke, Iggy Azalea, Lorde, Kesha, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, etc. It's just terrible.
