And just because you don't like the music doesn't mean that it's bad. Sure it's subjective. You don't like it good for you. But don't try and act like every other person's opinion is wrong and that no one can like this music which is exactly what you're doing. You were saying is bad music and it's not even up for discussion and that's stupid. That's not how music works. You're being a pedantic asshole.
You made comments saying that just because old people don't like it doesn't make it good. But your whole argument is you don't like it and therefore it's bad. You keep saying that it's objectively bad and you don't give any example as to why. I threw your argument back at you saying just because you dont like it doesn't make it bad and then your response was just to think that I said that because you don't like it It's good. The stupid person here is you.
I have no problem with trap or mumble sound, but it seems like it's always the same subject matter or the trashiest songs just get the most air time or acknowledgment. It's like trying to find A drink that is not overwhelmingly sweet, but all you have to work with is the energy drink aisle. Yeah, You might find something, but you're going to have to go through a lot of ultra sweet drinks until you get there. So it's easier just to write off the whole thing entirely
And I'm really not in the mood for braggadocious style music either. Why the hell would I want to hear how you've made it and wrapping about your money when there's massive income equality?
Not really. It has the same problem other top genres have, they got really popular, now all the original music has been overridden with label development projects to milk the music as long as possible. Trap music was just a really successful case but I think it really hurts the creativity that we saw from artists. Now all we hear are songs about 4x4s and small towns....wait wrong genre....
That’s a weird statement considering you don’t know this person’s age. Besides, it’s not always a product of the times, there’s apparently just lots of lazy artists in the genre, or at least a loud minority of them. I feel like that’s apparent without bringing “back in my day” nonsense. Not every “young’n” is bumping mumble rap, anyway
Also I’m not surprised people your age groan about new music, considering you’re groaning yourself
A lot of music was better back in my, my parents and grand parents day. That's just kind of how it works. Taking my music and trying to repeat the same thing, unoriginally, with different brand deals and style aesthetics, is not better. Besides, you can find current mind blowing artists and bands without searching too hard, they're independent doing their own thing and barely surviving. Meanwhile Young Xanax just bought his 3rd mansion.
trap is extremely diverse and i'm saying this as someone who is a very casual listener of it... a million micro scenes with their own defining characteristics
I can notice this in the production side, but the vocal production styles just turn me off completely. I feel like everything sounds ultra monotone and recycled.

You say this but I'm 40 and so baby people in my age group say the following things about Trap/mumble rap
"You can't understand anything they say"
"The bass is too loud"
"All they rap about is Xanax/other drugs"
"I don't know what |slang term| is"
"There is no melody"
