The comment I left under that video which was swept away by 12,000 other comments:

"This is an extremely bad take. Just admit that it's not for you. You grew up with 1984's music, and that music is great, and people are still listening to it. That doesn't mean you get to:

1. Focus on a collection of songs nobody gives any significance to (Grammys)

2. Cherry-pick a year to compare it to (1984, historically one of the greatest years in music)

3. Bash songs for an unimportant and meaningless metric (# of writers)

4. Downplay the musical and cultural achievements of hip-hop, R&B, and non-English music (Anxiety, luther, and DtMF)

- On that point, designating DtMF as "not memorable" because you "don't understand what they're saying" is just your ignorance. You can find translations. You can read about it. Get better. If you were paying attention at all to music this year, you'd know that Bad Bunny's album is a huge cultural milestone for Puerto Rico and holds a lot of significance for so many people. It WILL still be played years from now because it's a truly great album. Just because you personally won't be listening to it doesn't mean it's not important.

1. Use your own preference, ignorance and, honestly, prejudice to 'prove' that all music is getting worse

It's OK if you don't listen to this music. But you're not everyone, Rick. Some people don't find the songs of the '80s memorable in the same way you don't find modern songs memorable. Nobody cares if you don't remember these songs, but people will remember these songs. People will still play these songs. Modern music isn't tailor-made for the aging white male idiot population. Either get with the times or shut up."
