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

[tolu619]

Before I see other people's comments & get influenced, let me just say that I'm 20 & I think most of the hit songs are bad. I tend to listen more to songs that came out any time before the last 4 years than the current hits. And I do love rap but hip hop & black music generally is becoming very annoying. So are the popular white people whose songs are listened to by more blacks than whites. 

Not trying 2 discriminate here, I am black, just that I find the music influenced by blacks in the last 4 years to be going downhill.
