The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!!

We did not like our parents music and born 1951 and they did not like ours.

But today I have a tube amp that produces so much detail from a songs that I never knew existed in all the years listening to them..So at 73 since all I do is stream and go back and listen to what my dad would listen to on a Reel to Reel he had .

And you know I can listen to some of it now , not all but some .

I look at reviews of equipment and they mention songs that bring out detail for you to hear and most newer songs they mention I can not stand to listen to..

I hear new artist and ask who is that and give them a try and 98% of time can not play their music.. So 73 yrs old I listen to Peter White LOL and oldies and some of Dads old music...But each has to decide to their own beat what you listen to.

Not Worse but age has so much to do with it for sure...LOL

I get the criticisms for the pop music of today, many artists simply slapping out product using technology to cover up a lack of talent. But there are so many contemporary artists and music out there, real artistry produced with the tried and true technology of yesteryear. Pop music hasn't been important to me since sometime in the 90's so I couldn't care less about it's existence.

@baldric  the phrase, okay boomer, applies to anyone, not just boomers. And again, music paradigms are changing. If you're going to judge music by contemporary pop then just about every generation is going to suck. They're a hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of really good artists out there who aren't widely disseminated or played. As @sns said above, pop music is ephemeral at best. I kind of lost track with contemporary pop music decades ago and I still try to keep up with some of it but I'm much rather dive into the other genres that matter to me.

@dlevi67 I meant the present builds off the past, and thus advances it, whether it's knowledge, art, or music.  Of course the past contains great thinkers, artists, and musicians.  What makes the greats great is the ability to advance the status quo much further than the not-so-greats.  What made Einstein so great was both his intellect, and his ability to advance science in major ways.  The average physics professor today probably know more science than Einstein did, largely due to Einstein.  The same holds for the arts, IMO.

Put on a Vinyl record like Miles Davis, even if jazz is not your thing.  Hook up a good integrated hybrid amp with some good high end tower speakers or be cravy some KEF blades.  Compare that to streamed music, any current pop on Bluetooth budget to moderate priced gear.  You will hear the difference, let the music flow over and through you. You will feel and hear the difference.
