No, you're just old and don't understand the world anymore. Things are greater than they have ever been!
Re: Well done Stormzy and Dua Lipa
Reading Festival has gone down hill, have a look at rockwerchter in Belgium or bennicasim in Spain.
Re: Well done Stormzy and Dua Lipa
Well at least he's got more publicity and sales

Then you've got namby pamby nothingness filling in the rest.
Youth culture died in early 2000's and 90's I think, before youtube & social media tooks it hold.
Now you've Lil Pump making millions from this trash. God help the youth of today if they're watching this in their early teens. Currently on just the 550 million views.

I wondered when I was a teenager how it was possible the youth of the future could be any more stupid than my own MTV generation. Turns out it was pretty easy.
All face tattoos and "Xans".
That is a minority of the rap scene but yeah it is pretty popular tho. Listen to artists like Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$$, instead of these 'Soundcloud rappers'.
Not bashing those who got famous via Soundcloud, many good rappers such as Denzel Curry are included in that category

Don't confuse poor WB with more artists he hasn't heard of.

Growing up in the 90s I love that music but if similar came out now I probably wouldn't like it

I'm not saying they should but the standard itself has dropped significantly. Kendrick Lamar isn't my kind of music but I can acknowledge that he's a very good artist, but Fall Out Boy and Kings of Leon headlining? Huge drop off from Stereophonics, Oasis and Pulp, nevermind some of the other acts they had
