What gets on the radio / in the billboard charts represents less than 1% of the music being created and shared with the world. It's a really poor reflection of modern music as a whole. There is, in my opinion, some beautiful, imaginative, inventive music coming out now, as much (if not more) than ever before.
Of course, unless you're into shitty club anthems or pop for preteens, you have to dig for it.
Thanks to the internet, you're no longer beholden to the labels, the television or the radio to define your music taste, you can explore every type of music available and develop your taste.
So I don't think it's normal to despise all modern music, but I do think it's normal to despise most of what makes it into the charts.
Is it normal that I absolutely DESPISE modern music?

You despise ALL modern music?
