Modern rap degeneracy

I don't usually bash on people's taste in music but its so popular and played in every public area that its headache inducing and quite frankly I'm getting a little tired of it. I can stand music like Country, which is popular as well and I really don't like it, but its definitely not as bad as this stuff.

Fair enough. I definitely can relate to popular media becoming way too droning, considering I have the opposite opinion of country music.

complaining about what is popular in the mainstream is a waste of time. you are literally wasting time and effort which could be spent seeking out better music. I have zero sympathies for you.
also, there is a lot of great country music.

I thought the "rap is crap!" meme was dead already

there are people like you in every time period that say the same thing. there were probably people in the 80s who completely belittled madonna and michael jackson's talent just to say "they arnt talented theyre just popular and it annoys me" beside the fact that they are really creative artists and notable
'mumble rappers' like migos and yachty are in the same situation. the top charts say they're good, but like a small percentage of people think they're not and complain about it. in the end, they get their own documentary like 20 years later explaining how great they were and how influential they were on the music revolution of their time

i used to hear eminem's rap god playing all the time. i personally didn't like eminem or his music or style, but still i understand that he was definitely a very influential rapper who changed much of the west coast music industry from the late 90s to the early 2000s.
i dont like him personally but he was popular for a reason and that's what counts. pouting and asking "man why isnt my local rap slash guitar player more popular! he's way better!" isnt going to change the fact that eminem was really popular at the time and his style changed the genre entirely. if you can't recognize how artists influence various music styles and appreciate their ability to do so, you're really not at liberty to consider yourself a critic either
