Is today’s music just plain bad? Here’s one way of looking at it.

I was in the gym the other day when the music flipped to some over Auto Tuned mumble rap hip-hop song. I found it so annoying and…bad that I had to wait until it was over before moving on to the next thing I wanted to do. I mean, it was just awful.

Was I being a music snob? Too old? Or was I correct? Impossible to say, although I am glad I ran across this video from Rick Beato. He seems to have the same issues.
