Yet again, it's a 'generation' change.
When i was in my teens and twenties, music was a passion for the majority of young people. we bought our records with hard-saved money, took them home, and enjoyed the pleasure of sitting and listening to them.
With the advent of the internet and personal media, together with many additional forms of entertainment music has become generic, something to have on on the background, which means that a large proportion of music produced is for that purpose, and has not lasting impact or quality, designed as it is to provide a background soundtrack to everyday life, and not to be thought about or listened to with any degree of attention.
I do agree though - music forced on people is largely - by definition - unexciting or enjoyable, and for those of us of a 'certain age', it represents an intrusive noise that has not always beeh there.
For 'modern youth' - it is as natural as oxygen, but far less life-enhancing.
