Why don't today's high schoolers like any good music?

[Some of My Best Friends Are Gay]

Today's high schoolers like rap, pop, EDM, etc. not your weird hardcore and emo sh!t.

Exactly, their musical taste is garbage.

Or maybe you're just an out of touch old fart, what are you, like 40?

Thing is if I go on forums about music that high schoolers loved when I was in high school it's all people my age.

More importantly, why doesn't the Democratic base like good music like they did 40 years ago? I made a post but no one replied. The new things they sing like The Fight Song have nothing to do with politics. It's just loud, divisive garbage. You can't even make out the words in the other songs that have nothing to do with anything. It's all so off message.

Yes, because high schoolers loved it when you were in high school, and those people, having been high schoolers when you were in high school, are roughly your age.

Yes but there was a perhaps largely naive assumption common st the time that since only high schoolers liked it we'd outgrow it.

That makes sense. I'm a little less than a decade younger than you and people my age had the same trajectory about, say, Paramore (a band that I heard a newly-ordained priest bring up in a sermon last weekend).

Music peaked with Gucci Gucci by Kreayshawn. It's been all downhill since then.

My 17 yo son listens to Weezer and other proper rock.  To be fair, he's got a pretty cool dad, so that helps.
