"Billboard Hot 100" on Tidal.  Thought it would be fun to catch up on the latest pop hits! 

Oh, God help me!    It is so much worse than I thought, much worse than ever before, even 1990s.

Of the top 25 I only made it all the way through 2 of them. Most I skipped within first 10 seconds, some within 2 seconds. #13 is so horrifying I was like a deer staring in the headlights. That's the hook, revolting moral assault. Cultural shock and awe. Most kids aren't wise enough to reject it. They feel the adrenaline and they get stuck.

If our kids take this shit to heart we are in deep doo doo.

My wife and I were talking about this subject yesterday and she mentioned a song being performed on tv and how utterly repetitive it was. You also mentioned the word "hook" and I recall Lionel Ritchie mentioning that word years ago as he felt it was a very important criteria for a hit song.
Although I'm not a classical music aficionado, I can certainly appreciate why people listen to it.

Oh wow! This is old school new wave right here. I haven't heard this band's name whispered anywhere since 1988!

What was the worst offender? Or was there hardly any difference?
