Classical music, while historically significant, is actually mid and there's nothing uncultured about not enjoying it.

There are too many damn love songs. 75% of all music does not need to be about love, relationships, and breakups. I stopped listening to radio because all the damn love songs got annoying.
Can we please have more songs about literally anything else. Weed, flowers, rainy days, animal companions, construction work, types of cars, card games, anything. Thereβs more in life to sing about than just relationships and/or the lack of them!
Sincerely, A person whose sexuality is βNoβ and has no interest in that kind of relationship.

We're in the best time to listen to music. There's amazing stuff out there. It just doesn't come to you automatically, you've got to seek it out.
Now, it's a pretty bad time to be an artist trying to make a living. But it's also the easiest time to DIY music.
What has helped me with this was seeking out local bands and seeing them live. Check out local bars with live music nights or open mics, wander around the biggest city in your area and look for interesting flyers and stickers, or [other useful advice]. As a bonus, when you find bands you like they often play shows with bands that are of a genre you'd never seek out yourself.
I mean, not to be a shill, but Spotify makes playlists every Monday and Friday showcasing new but older and new new music respectively. So it kinda does just come to you
I guess my other unpopular music opinion is that I still buy music. I guess ANOTHER unpopular music opinion is that I think algorithmic suggestions aren't great and ultimately limit the kinds of music one is exposed to if that's their only source of new music.

I dislike modern pop's mixing of the human voice, mixed so high compared to the rest, to the point where you can't hear instruments anymore. The music is often there just for accompanyment, elevetor music. I rather have chillwave, where everything is one big reverb trick pony, than having to hear people screaming.

Lyrics don't add value to 99.99% of music and any notes from them should be from an actual instrument.

As a comedy music act, Ray Stevens should get into the Rock and Roll HoF before Weird AL Yankovic
Same for Gwar.
