Today's music is mostly GARBAGE

My biggest issue with modern pop music is that it requires absolutely no talent. Sure there's exceptions but even in the world of metal, which has generally been fairly pure, bands are using all kinds of computer-generated effects to produce music they can't reproduce live without computers.

I honestly don't mind electronic elements in music.

What bothers me about modern pop music (including corporate metal) is that far too much of it sounds almost identical. It feels like they use an algorithm to generate "new" content. If your music doesn't fit in the algorithm, you don't get any promotion.

I know it's been that way to some degree for a long time, but it has gotten worse. Just mindless junk recycled ad nauseam. People listen to it because it is easy and they don't really have any understanding of how music gets made.
