Music is dead, just like this shitty nu-puritanical culture we live in — Old songs from the 70s, 80s, 90s now represent 70% of the current U.S. music streaming market (archive.ph)

If you don't like juvenile pop or lowest common denominator black music, you don't find much good stuff in the mainstream now.
Every fucking song needs some rapper yelling random shit in. I remember way back I was listening to Florence + The Machine and even they had a couple songs where they had versions with a random black guy talking over the lady singing. WHY? It never adds anything.

WHY??

Big label jews chasing the success of previous hits that did that. See Fly by Sugar Rat.

This right here is about 80% of the answer to why music is the way it is right now. The article that OP linked to even mentions the gold rush by the music labels for older hit music. These labels will of course want a return on their investments so they push the artists that they've bought. I guess that people don't realize that there's nothing organic about what kind of music becomes popular.

I recall Lungs and Ceremonials being pretty good albums. That must've been what, over a decade ago?

Yeah. Those were great. I feel they are way too weird now, I just don't think they match the quality of their older stuff.
Also, have you noticed how they made some amazing songs for movies that were either meh or bad? Breath of Life for that awful Snow White one, anyone?

The best rap song ever was from Hitman Blood Money 2006. Listen to this masterpiece:

Looks wise, she was always kinda weird. I also don't really like the newer songs much.
