Are you a music pretender?

I've never really liked top 40 music for a long time now. These days it's all the same regenerated electronic music. It has no soul or meaning and lately all the music is about people feeling sorry for themselves.

That all aside, I would genuinely like to know if people actually like today's music? I think younger people are peer pressured into 'enjoying it' when deep down you know it's horrible and deeply shallow.

Do you have older music you prefer to listen to without others knowing for fear of being outcast?

I like older music. There is also new non electric music I like, It’s never going to be heard on pop radio or make the top 40 but it’s out there.

@EniaE see that's part of the issue. There is no exposure to different music because kids don't want accept it because they will be seen as uncool. We indeed live in a distorted world.
