Why does everyone listen to bad music?

This generation of music sucks. People should be listening to good rock and metal like Staind, Korn, Rage Aginst the Machince, Deftones, Stone Temple Pilots and Metallica. Instead, people are are listening to Drake, Justin Bieber and The Weeknd which is just awful....

People listen to these "awful" acts because they like them... what you're saying is no difference to the "how can people like metal, it's just noise" crowd.
Post reads like them 13 year old kids on the Youtube comments section.

Plenty of good music has been released this decade.
If you can't find any of it your music taste isn't as good as you think it is.
Kendrick Lamar and J Cole are the only rappers currently that have good music- other rappers have songs based on hoes, drugs, alcohol and I wonder to myself if I sing about that wouldn't I be famous?

Of course, there are artists other than the rock metal music sector that are good. But sadly, lots of people enjoy listening to break-up songs by Taylor 'Boring' Swift to tutorials on picking up girls for roadmen by Justin 'Fake ****boy' Bieber.
Rock and metal sound disgusting. Like wtf they're just shouting and it all sounds the same

The previous generation to yours is aghast that you think you lived through the pinnacle of music.

You've probably been listening to screamo. In my own opinion most songs released nowadays all sound the same (in particular rap songs).
Ffs no one listens to bad music its just dependent on the person and what they choose to listen to.

If you can't understand that everyone has their own taste in music, write an in depth essay on which bands are the best.

Wait 10 years and reread it.

Drake or Quentin Miller? :smile:
It cant be bad music if I like it.
Define "bad music".

If it's my definition of "bad music" then no, not everyone does. :erm:

Same reason what makes every other genre special. They all essentially the same tbh. Though however, I tend to find rock and metal to have far more variation than pop.

No interest in joining the angsty teen 'my music is better than your music' thing, but you sound like you're on about screamo, which I also feel is pretty ****. You wanna listen to some proper metal; Judas Priest and Iron Maiden are the best imo.
