Trying to accept that 2016 is coming to an end is hard to grasp. And while everyone’s getting ready with their resolutions they hope to,but never actually accomplish, one subject remains controversial,music.

Yes 2016 will definitely be remembered for more important matters, but it also was a wild ride for music. But why so much hate on the chart toppers of today’s radical jams?

Today’s music reflects today’s day and age just like it always has in eras before, today’s age is upbeat and all about doing things just for the fun of it. Not all music has to have heartfelt ballads, sometimes it’s just for pure enjoyment and getting into a party mood. And even then there are still plenty of meaningful songs out there today you just have to know where to look, just because you turn on the radio and don’t like the first sound you hear doesn’t mean you have to freak out and tweet about your frustration with today’s music.  

Every era of music has its high and lows, Am I the only one who remembers Gangnam style by Psy?  There have always been songs just as moronic as some of today’s hits, just as well as there are still those artist with real instruments and real morals.  

Twenty-One Pilots, a musical duo who blew up this year may be remembered for their funky, yet overplayed song Stressed out but they actually have thought out lyrics, they speak the truth just like in there song Lane boy “don’t trust a perfect person and don’t trust a song that’s flawless”

While it may be an easy scapegoat to blame the artist for the content they release, who are we to call them out on it? After all, we are the ones listening. There is no question that music is an industry. It’s all about supply and demand, face it, people today just want to dance and whether that be to same robotic beeps and boops, so be it.

For the most part today’s music may all sound similar but that’s what selling if you have a problem then change the station there are plenty of a variety of music out there. There is no point in trying to change the natural vibe of this generation’s sound.
