>I feel like the common idea that music nowadays is garbage compared to old stuff peaked in the 2000s. I dunno. There's always been garbage music. The 60's had it's own share of it. There were a lot of one hit wonder bands, radio and tv friendly music, lip synching and manufactured bands back then and all through the 70's, 80's and 90's. I think the problem is a lot of people don't remember it because it's garbage and gets overshadowed by the awesome music from those times. What seems to have happened is the process of manufacturing and distributing garbage commercial music was improved and refined over the decades to the point of complete saturation. Thankfully widespread internet adoption broke that stranglehold and you can find an amazing amount of music now. I have to listen to the radio at work though and it's just the same as it's always been...full of garbage.
