If you think music suddenly, irreversibly got significantly worse in the 90s (or at any given point, really), you either have a rose-tinted and cherry-picked view of earlier eras, or have not bothered to properly explore new music.70%-80% of all music since 1990 is bad. And I grew up during the 90s.
Have you ever considered that maybe music wasn't overall better in the past? It's far more likely that you weren't around to experience the past's bad music that generally gets forgotten.
Not liking a music type does not equate to racism. I don’t like opera either it doesn’t mean I hate Italians. I also hate techno. Stop being a clown.Wow, sure is lot of veiled racism itt
Racist much?

I mean when the OP’s likely a white person running on the premise is that hip hop, an intrinsically black form of artistic expression, isn’t music, and is generalising said black form of artistic expression as intrinsically bad by pointing to modern mainstream examples that don’t represent the wider spectrum of the genre, it’s hard not to say they’re coming at the subject from a racially biased perspective ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
e: btw this is a better song than everything Michael Bolton’s ever written
Hmm. There is a thing on this site called unsubstantiated accusations of racism. You are the one running around telling everyone who will listen that people are being racist for not liking a music type.
I think you started at 8.26 and moved on and doubled down from there.Where did I say that anyone was racist for not liking hip hop?

It isn't good music, at any rate.
I’d much rather hear Time, Love, and Tenderness on repeat than hear Cardi B reciting pornographic obscenities or Lil Wayne rhyming “n***a” with itself or XXTentacion mumbling about how he can’t keep his d**k in his pants over a computer-generated beat.

I mean, you're basically asking us to erase the 90s at this point. Modern rap (and it's white contemporary, grunge) both came up around the same time and took hold in part because, well, pop SUCKED in the 90s. No, really. Look at the charts from 90-92. Coming off the 80s, we let some of the worst musicians take up radio airtime. Rap did us a favor in making it so that the likes of Bolton, Stevie T and Maxi Priest never saw another hit on the charts.
