Do you think that modern pop music is atonal, amoral garbage?

I have a teenage sister who listens to 'Party in the USA', the new Brittany Spears song, and Lady Gaga 24/7. And, is it just me, or do all modern pop songs sound exactly the same? They're all so electronically muffled that you can't understand most of the lyrics (and the ones you can understand are really gross >_<). My sister thinks I'm just an old fuddy duddy; but I can't be the only one who feels this way.

Luckily, I found a music reviewer on YouTube who feels the same and expresses it in a hilarious way. Watching his videos makes me feel a lot better about being out of touch with the youngsters and their dadgum music. Check it out:

UGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..... YES, I do believe modern pop music is garbage... not all of it is, but it USUALLY is. So many songs are so.... superficial and MEANINGLESS, hence why I have a tendency to listen to more foreign music. I take offense to your sister's "old fuddy duddy" comment because it's like saying that songs with meaning are "in the past", I don't want a future where everything is shallow! DX. Not to mention, I'm a teenager too! I'm still in high school and frankly I don't want to be lumped in with a majority of the other teenage girls. Sure, I know alot of nice people and nice girls, but what is deemed the "typical" high school female annoys me XP.

granted, I dance to some of the songs you mentioned, but only because my dance teacher plays them during our lessons and because like it or not, I find the songs to be catchy and easy to dance to >.>. I don't listen to them on my own time though.

I also hate how so many songs these days are littered with swear words and raunchy references....... DX. And I hate how so many of them are kinda.... whiny.....

I usually listen to more ballads and rock ballads, or inspirational stuff, or contemporary.... I also love a good deal of older songs, partly cuz' my mom would play them in the car when I was little.

Its good to know at least one teenager with a good head on her shoulders. Honestly, I don't begrudge people who happen to enjoy this kind of music (different strokes and all that). I just don't like it when people give me a hard time for objecting to it.

My 8 months living in a dorm setting was really upsetting because I got tagged as a "religious nut" simply because I don't drink alcohol and I objected to "kill the niggers" songs being played in the government car we used for work.
