Pop music now is better and more diverse than it ever has been. And I say this as a 45 year old

iHeartRadio / ClearChannel Radio destroyed the music of my childhood by overplaying the same 20 songs per station.

This graph is worse than useless to me. It is an insult.

Yeah except now the music of my childhood is on classic rock stations. And there’s no modern rock station at all.

Just listen to a different radio or use a playlist instead or whatever

Theres more music out there than ever and it is so hard to find.

Hip hop, rap and RnB are very popular and very much in the mainstream, but I'm not a fan. So popular music certainly isn't to my taste.

Rock is well past its peak popularity. There's load of good rock and metal, but it takes work to find it now.

People's tastes might not reflect what's currently popular, which makes it falsely look like "all music is shit now".
