What songs/song were so overplayed, that you never want to hear them again? Mine are

90. Yardwork, there's a LOT of new music out there, but you won't hear it on

stations or channels or playlists focusing on classic rock, pop, etc. - and the newer music may not be to your taste.

How much hip-hop do you listen to?

How big a fan are you of Taylor Swift or Harry Styles or Rihanna?

Do you like auto tune, or do you hate it? Most DUers seem to hate it.

How well do you like this?

It's a shame that independent radio stations, and DJs who could decide what to play, are almost nonexistent now. Unfortunately that's likely to get worse with AI being pushef into radio now - I've posted about that. Plus there's more and more AI-generated music, with one company alone having uploaded 15 million AI-generated tracks to Spotify.

But there's still new music out there. Genuine music from real artists, as opposed to AI crap.

I won't fault that 19-year-old you mentioned for listening to classic rock, though. Not only is it new to him, but it ISN'T comparable to a Baby Boomer when young listening only or mostly to music from the 1920s and 1930s. There was so much more popular music in the '60s-'80s, from a wide array of diverse artists, many of them pushing the envelope and incorporating other musical genres. It was an explosion of creativity, enabled by a huge audience that still bought albums, and a large number of radio stations catering to diverse tastes.

And much of it was great music. Not all of it, but much of it.
