No it isn’t and I’m old too. It’s either butt rock, dad rock, pop, rap that’s actually just pop now, or terrible country. Barely of each is even passable but there’s a few gems in each except for the country which would need to go older or play Charley Crockett and they won’t.
And there’s still good stuff coming out, it’s just (as usual since like '97) it gets no radio play outside listener sponsored or college stations. Satellite excluded, terrestrial only.
I work retail and have sometimes ran into a genuinely decent song. nowadays I don’t pay attention anymore because I listen to my own music to keep my sanity
I had this same experience yesterday. I recognized it from my youth and was sort of transported back to that time and thought, “It fucking sucked then and sucks now.” Then I moved on with my life.
