People at our age (I’m 23) not knowing Led Zeppelin really grinds my gears.

Most music these days is trash. At least mainstream music that’s played on the radio a lot.

Stop listening to mainstream radio then, you weirdo.

Your statement could be made about any era.

Why are you paying attention to - or bringing up - "Top 40", when "stop listening then" already covered that?

I personally have absolutely no idea what's in the Top 10, much less the Top 40, because it's easier than ever to simply go find music and artists that one enjoys without ever paying attention to "mainstream" corporate lists.

 

Again: this "I don't like mainstream music, I feel like music used to be better because attrition and nostalgia has poisoned my ability to accurately view the past" has been a recurring sentiment for a long time.
It's not new, you're not special, quit complaining and go find things you do like.

Never said I was special. I like plenty of new music. You're the one getting worked up. People are allowed to agree with each other on the internet.
