I wouldn’t call it lazy. For me, it’s just got to have hot young adults in faux fur pants and belly shirts, or it just doesn’t work. If you made me listen to an album full of zydeco, I’d claw my ears out, but when I see a bunch of hippies dancing to it at some festival, I appreciate it for the environment it creates. I like watching hot chicks on motorcycles as much as the next guy, but let’s not pretend it’s fine art. A bowl of Captain Crunch isn’t part of a complete breakfast, but it’s an awesome bowl of corn syrup. I even laughed at my “this is my list of awesome 90s pop,” as I realized how little of it was actually popular. There used to be a radio show called “Twenty Years Ago Today” that played the top 20 from 20 years ago, and I naively thought it was going to be all awesome, and a lot of it was trash. I had the benefit of having access to a lot of history and friends who had older siblings who lived it and kept evidence. Why were people listening to new Bee Gees when The Beatles existed? (Or old Bee Gees, for that matter ?) I couldn’t figure out why people were listening to bad disco when Parliament existed.

We all see things differently, but my tastes evolved rapidly at a certain point. was all junk music made to sell to pre-teen girls and secretly gay guys who learned all they knew about music from corporate radio and who drank Wild Duck at parties as their taboo-breaking rebellious moment. My first thought in my late 20s was that rap was just a bunch of grown up children yelling doggerel to get attention. My first thought in the 90’s when I was in my 30s was that metal sounded like sticking you head under the hood of any car with the engine running. My first thought when I was in my 40’s about techno, for instance, was that it all sounded like an extended session in an MRI machine. Even Beck, who I love, has basically gone to some Beach Boys mode, and I never liked The Beach Boys.Maybe it’s your musical tastes that have gone stale, and not the new music itself? Even the stuff I like is just basically the same old formula in a new package. There’s other stuff I hear that I don’t like that much, but it does seem like decent quality pop music, so it’s not just a sea of garbage out there, but I do feel like there’s no record company willing to take a chance on anything new. I don’t need my mind blown when I turn on the radio, but I’d like to hear something that has a melody that sticks with me.
