    Yep, it can't get more official: I'm not with it anymore.

    I'm not with it in any way, shape or form. I just listened to the top of the Spotify charts and I don't get why anyone would enjoy listening to any of it.

    Some 5 years ago, the charts merely sounded blander than they used to. Now they sound outright unpleasant.

    Only one song stood out as vaguely listenable: "Lucky You" by Eminem and Joyner Lucas, because the rapping was impressive, but Eminem's an old act, so it doesn't really count.

      I keep checking back, just in case the trends change in a way I like, but it seems that pop music has been on a fixed trajectory away from my preferences for about 15 years now, and something tells me that it's going to continue doing that. How often do you see an 80-year-old enthusiastically listening to currently charting tracks? That just doesn't happen.
