I think it is a generational thing: I'm old enough to remember how people greeted The Beatles , The Stones, Bob Dylan, Pink Floyd, The Sex Pistols and so on. Everyone said that the latest incarnation of popular music had no melodies, childish lyrics, was sensationalist , and many more interesting and paparazzi-like comments were made...................However, I think it has always been true that the next generation likes to rebel against the last and shock its parents ( "Every generation shots a hero up the pop charts ........Paul Simon").......this has become harder to do as there have been more generations attempting to do this as time goes on and the level to which one must go to achieve this has changed...
"Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone.
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changing" Bob Dylan
.................however, time will always be the judge..................most people believed that The Beatles would be luck if the lasted two years ( Even The Beatles themselves doubted their ability to last)
So as I said, time will tell but your comments are not new and I believe every generation believes that the current new generation has lost their way.

Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!
It's a mixed up sensation this being alive
Oh! it wears a man down into the ground
It's the strangest elation
I can't describe it
Oh it leaves a man weary
It makes a man frown..............................Chris Simpson ( "Mixed Up Sensations" 1975 Martin's Cafe )
