Am I the only person in the entire world who does not get her appeal? I was listening - and I listen to all kinds of music - and my first thought was "WTF". Anyone else agree?

(43,049 posts)I was listening to an hour or so of Marion McPartland on the radio today, but personally, I would consider suicide an option if murder were not possible should I be subjected to another bagpipe tatoo.
We all have our limits.

I've seen Cardi B two times, and was not impressed. She's unintelligible, allegedly lifts music from other artists, and she's being shoved down people's throats.
The music industry and most of the music produced now-a-days is a joke. There are some good acts out there but not many, which is WHY I choose to listen to music mostly of MY generation and before (I'm soon to be 57).

(1,159 posts)My mom HATED the Sugar Hill Gang more and more each time I played Rappers Delight as a kid. Then she hated Tupac and Biggie, though for very different reasons. Neither of them was talking to my mom, and she wasnt trying to hear them.
My younger, female cousins cant get enough of Cardi B. I cant say I hate her music, but Im much, much happier when I dont hear it. Cardi B isnt talking to me, but Ive tried to listen in a few times.
Interestingly, most folks I know LOVE their parents music.

In my opinion, rap shouldn't be called music, though - it's 'spoken poetry'.

I really really try not to be an old fogy with today's music, but damn.
