Here’s some fresh negativity: Can we just admit that pop music is in the most dire state imaginable? I mean if you hear a good song now-a-days it practically breaks your ear —
Depends on your definition of "pop" - if you mean purely music that's currently popular, perhaps. But there's a LOT of amazing music still being released, it's just not all necessarily making it to the mainstream ears.

We don't even care about our own award shows. So we care even less about someone else's.
