    With every second song on the radio these days being about being drunk, being 'in the club' or being a whore, do you feel any connection to modern chart music or is it totally lost on you?

    I've reached the stage where it's totally lost on me and that's kinda sad, because I used to really enjoy the charts.

    Money
    Having it

    spending it
    them wanting it
    where to get it

    All this being five decades away from a miniscule pension

    Chart music is ****e (mostly), lots of good artists out there, the internet is fantastic for smaller/independent artists, especially the likes of soundcloud and bandcamp.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I don't think it's because of me getting older, I think it's because of music getting emptier and shallower and these days being created specifically for d*ckheads.

    Tbh its part of that MTV culture, the one that promotes the likes of the absolute degenerates in shows like Jersey Shore, Super Sweet 16, Ke$sh's show etc. Music just reflects that, rappers rapping about how rich and powerful they are, women singing about how slutty and drukn they can be while posing in their underwear in their music videos. Modern music is a load of trashy people talking about trashy things and you wonder why on a night out every second young one has their hair dyed red like Rihanna and vomiting from their eyeballs while being fingered outside their local chipper.

    Music today isn't shít. Chart music today is 99% shít.

    Chart music in the 80s was 99% shít aswell, though.

    When people say things like this, all they're doing is revealing that they spend far too much time here.

    The Specials, Madness, Dexys, Blondie, The Jam? I know there was crap too, but overall, I think it's fair to say there has definitely been a decline when it comes to chart music.

    I really don't think so. Look at the amount of bands that have been around, I think when people look back it's easy to just pick out the good and dismiss the bad because noone remembers them anyway because they were so dire.

    People will look back in 20 years and talk about how good music used to be with Florence and the Machine, Adele etc etc etc conveniently ignoring the likes of Bieber.

    Look back at what was number one at whatever date years ago, I can say with 96% certainty that it would have been awful, awful shite. Chart music is basically always going to be terrible, because it's homogenised and made to be palatable to the ones who will buy it.

    I'm usually drunk and often in clubs, but no, I can't stand 'modern music'.

    I think its unfair to judge chart music as complete sh1te. You get different things from different types of music. Sure Queen are better than Pitbull (in every conceivable way) but in a club people are more prepared to dance to Pitbull. Pitbull has his use there. Its not fair to compare apples with oranges. On the other hand most music from any decade will be terrible to look back on.
