Bad music wil always exist but the cheap and easy stuff is what makes profit and gets pushed by record labels. Stop looking there.

Theres not like 100 years of recorded music one could sift through at any moment. Or the insane amount of content on Soundcloud or Bandcamp. Or have an experience in meat world seeing live music.

As someone who can play music professionally, I think most people who have this criticism suffer from music illiteracy. Like in a world where art isnt a priority, maybe do some self-crit that maybe your ears arent that experienced, that you have a limited listening palette and you don't know as much as you think you do. Then ask why is this so? Like corporate slop has definitely shaped the musical landscape and has poisoned anyones mind who has partaked but why haven't you ventured much further?
