I was really hoping you would tell us why, specifically, you won't listen to modern pop. I, too, struggle with it but have been unable to put my finger on exactly why it irritates me. I grew up on classical, musicals, opera, 50s-00s everything (minus country!)... Around 2010 or so, something with pop just... shifted? It was suddenly all terrible. It didn't make sense. And now it's just...grating. But why? What changed? 😒
