Are the "hit" songs bad and annoying or am I getting old?

Indeed. We quite literally have seen it all, and listened to it all, before. But, for those whippersnappers (which we were not so long ago, falling for the same tricks), it's the first time around so feels fresh and new. Pop is just a happy recycling for the kids and the nostalgic.

Yes, I know, a massive simplification, but it suffices to make my point.

Simplication FTW!

But yeah, I know this whole thing about old, boring folks nagging on new stuff is a part of the cycle of life, it's always entertaining though.

It certainly is. Plus, as you move from the younger generation into the not-so-young generation, your funky moves soon become an awesome Dad Dance, which is, of course, full of win. Once you've perfected that, you have kids and embarrass them for the next thirty years, all the time observing that music was better when you were young. Which, of course, it was. For every generation.

How awesome we are. But still, like people are saying, there's a lot of autotune and what have you going around.

Yes, there is. And, in every previous generation, there was a lot of something else. Whether it was autotune instead of singing, computers instead of bands, electric synthesisers instead of pianos, drum machines instead of drums, electric guitars instead of guitars, big bands instead of orchestras, everyone has had something to complain about concerning the 'music of this crappy generation' down through the decades. Hell, it was happening long before modern music. Just look into how what we refer to as classical music took its shape (the pop of its era for many). Later, what we see as crappy, modern nonsense will turn to the classics of tomorrow; or, the best examples, at least. I mean, really, who doesn't love a good bit of 80s' synthpop? That's when music was real, man! They didn't need real instruments! ... uh oh...

No, this isn't the same |:

How many pepole today still listem to Elvis? or 50's-60's Blues? The Beatles? Pimk Floyd? Led Zeppelin? Deep Purple? Eric Clapton? Yes? Genesis? Rush? Iron Maiden? Metallica? Guns N' Roses? Nirvana? Queen? Tupac?

A LOT.

How many pepole still listen to N-Sync? or The Backstreet Boys? Bands who's success, for their time, was as big, if not bigger, than most of the bands stated above?

Not that many...

This is probably the generation with the most young pepole who despise the way music looks today.
