ugh okay, last reply to you because I don't have all day to go back and forth. No, your first comment was a blanket "Modern music sucks", and then when people started calling you out you changed your tune to "That's just like, my opinion man". Again, saying "All modern music sucks" comes off in an arrogant "My taste is better than yours" way. You know that because you changed your wording to "In my opinion I don't like modern music".
But don't take my word for it. Reddit has an entire subreddit dedicated to the cliche of "Music back in the 70s was better", "I only listen to Queen", "Man music today is just so fake and unoriginal". (I won't link it directly because reddit bad, but it's

). It's a freaking trope now, and most people are sick of it. It is not original, it is not new, I know because I said the exact same crap 20 years ago when I was in high school about the same bands. Then I grew up and realized that people can like different things and music is not better or worse now, music is just music. I may have different tastes but that doesn't mean that this music good that music bad, and that I sounded like a douche when I said all of that.To close out, as both a huge Queen fan and as a huge Taylor Swift fan (yes, it's actually possible to like both), I'll leave you with one of my favorite things to post to people who insist "music sucks now it was way better then"
lol try again. That’s my original reply above. Note the parts in bold that qualify my statement. Also note the part in bold italic that explains why I feel the way I do.
