Does Contemporary Music Suck?

[JennyB]

Third wave was the one in the 90s right? If so I guess I got your back on this.

Correct, and

MONSTERS.

I can't relate at all to blanket statements about hating contemporary pop music. You've listened to the entirety of it? You've ensured that you've listened to each song with an open mind rather than going in knowing you're going to hate it? It's really weird.

I mean, it means already hating the new Beyonce album before even hearing it, which is completely mind-boggling.

Is Beyonce playing third wave ska on the new album? If not...

Have you already forsaken the fourth wave?

Fourth wave is back to being underground, not a charting pop concern.

I don't pre-hate it, but I know I'm not her audience so I'm fine with complete disinterest.

I've given it a few spins. I respect tight adherence to a theme, but it's a bit much to have 16 songs of 4/4 120bpm mezzoforte dance music. Lemonade was a more stylistically interesting album even if it a bit more haphazard. The dance/club theme does work well for her generally limited vocals at least.

I don't think I've actively enjoyed anything Beyonce has put out since Single Ladies.

Yeah it's a bit overlong, it could have been maybe 12 tracks instead.

This Bing Crosby character is just selling those mindless kids a bunch of noise. Now, Enrico Caruso, that's music.

Enrico Caruso? You mean that hipster charlatan? Antonin Dvorak—now THAT's what I call music.

These kids, they love to talk this, they love to talk Dvořák - everyone knows rock achieved perfection in 1774.

Bah everything before 1764 is no good.

I certainly hope so.
