I also feel like millions have said the same about every decade before you, and there will be someone 15 years from now talking about how the 00's were great and music sucks now. My grandparents said that my parents culture was dumbed down, my parents said my culture was dumbed down, I'll probably at some point say things are dumbed down.
I don't mean this to be offensive, but I think you're simply getting old and losing the ability to identify with anything that's new.

Fair enough. My point was that mainstream music today is void of anything musical. Whereas it was never like this before.
Lady Gaga recycles the same chord sequences over and over.....rihanna's entire records are autotuned...........mainstream music today is..... either..... I, V, vi, IV OR vi, IV, I, V over a series of hypnotic computerized drum patterns, an either blatantly autotuned voice or pitch corrected voice, and finally words about something skanky and void of any real purpose other than getting drunk in a club...............
That's it........and no I'm not getting old, I hear it for what it is, and I know that the industry is dumbing down its listeners more than ever before. That's a fact, and it can't be disputed.
), but c'mon Rihanna? she's got zero skills...about Beyonce? I've never heard live w/o autotune, so I can't tell
