Hey chickenman I LOVE Taylor Swift bro back off! lol. Miley Cyrus is a trainwreck, but there is tons of positive and good music coming out right now. Nothing's ever gonna be like the Beatles again. But you need to realize how they write music. . . It's not just the artist. Before a record gets released by someone like Swift, it has been gone through a thousand times and refined to carry a specific message. Words have more than one meaning, and that girl is TUNED IN. I'm listening to RED right now in fact.
Good artists, those with corporate backing or even some indies are carrying messages to humanity and their words are NOT about an ex boyfriend. They are singing to their own higher selves, along with ours and to the Light Bearer. Don't be so quick to dismiss, there are always your records to go back to and dust off but they will never have the same effect today as they did then. If you want to be with it, you need to find the good music coming out today.
