First, I feel like I owe some sort of response and apology from people around this age group to everyone else. Secondly, came across this fella from bleacher report and was curious. Holy shit....trying to keep Memorial Day in persepective and see this shit... quickly became embarrassed. Post Malone

Radio music sucks and has for years.
I guess you could say the only good radio is satellite radio. Can always find something good on there. But local FM radio forget it. Couple songs followed by commercials followed by a couple more songs followed by people calling in and talking about shit no one cares about.
I get it though. Can't have customers walking into a store to death metal, gangster rap, etc. blaring over the sound system. Have to go with a happy medium and unfortunately that's shitty music. If there's nothing playing it's simply too quiet and awkward.
Always singing about breakups, beer, women, trucks, etc. that's pretty much it.
Kind of depressing really.
You know country is shit when T-Swift goes pop lol.
^^^It might surprise you.
For example, this song, that the roles were reversed. It gets pumping about 1:20 and 2:40
I don't listen to Taylor Swift so I have no idea if that was a cover of one of her songs or not but if it was it wasn't all that bad. I'm not going to look for her version as I already know I like this version better.
Out of curiousity was that a cover of her newer pop stuff or country stuff before she went pop? Might have to look up the original after all.
She looks wacky to me anyway.
If you don't like it maybe just don't listen to it or share it with others. Is that you?
I know she's a cat lady so that might explain the wacky look youre talking about.

The parents of the baby boomers were appauled with Elvis. Remember, there was a time when they could only show him from the waist up on TV, etc. They really had a dislike for Wanda Jackson being a woman pioneering rock/rockabilly. Thought it was blasphemy.
Remember the back lash about the Beatles, The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Marylin Manson, back masking The Eagles, NWA, J. Geils band, Madonna, WASP, 2 Live Crew, Post Malone, etc.
Being in a current generation, and disliking what the "kids" listen to, feels more real without the ability to personally relate to previous generational music dislikes.
Wanna know what the most popular music is with the current generation? Just ask the previous generation what they hate the most.
Just my .02 cents.
Here's some more early "Post" for you to dance to.

Want proof? Go anywhere in the country and scan the radio. You will STILL hear all of those bands you listed. Do you still hear Chingey, or Soilderboy on the radio? Hell no, and you won't hear Post Malone ever again after about a year or two.
True story:
I call on a car dealership here in town and the two clean-up guys are young black guys into rap. I always go back and bullshit with them and talk about music(that's all we really have in common). One day Post Malone was playing on the radio and I asked "what do you guys think about this cat?" They both agreed that it was "white girl music".
That being said, I give this guy a year tops.
I put my headphones in and listen to albums on my iphone or Pandora when I'm at my desk, fuck radio.
While I'm at it, fuck all these "next big star" shows as well. O you found 39 guys with an acoustic guitar and a pretty nice voice and you are going to tell me they are the most talented thing to be "discovered"? GFY
I think a huge difference between many rap songs today compared to controversial groups in the 50-70's..... is that rap music today really denigrates and disparages women, promotes hard drug use (think coke, crack, heroine), promotes and glorifies violence/crime (murder, theft, robbery, rape, drug dealing).
That is a huge difference that I think has really had a negative impact in impoverished (black and white) communities whose youth listen to this type of music.
Not every rap song or rapper is like this, but on the whole, that is the message from many of them. And if you get into more obscure rappers, the violence, degeneration and promotion of crime is ever more hard core then what you hear/see on the radio. I've been listening to rap for a long time, and I have run across a few songs/wrappers that had so much hatred in them you would probably be shocked this type of content is being produced. Not only being produced but marketed and sold to youth.
White guy, gold fronts, man bun, corn rows. Can't take serious.
