What is wrong with the radio these days (this is not a rant)...?

Okay, again... This is not a rant.





I'm wanting to know what seriously has gone wrong with the radio. I lived 20~ish years of my life listening to the radio and always finding a song I like often.





Aside from them playing the same hit songs over and over and over again... They're playing HORRIBLE hit songs.





I'm a fan of almost every type of music. I like Oprah, rap, rock, country, techno/house/dance/drum n bass, 80s, 90s, and everything before and after those years.





From The Animals to Ne-yo. I like it all.





I'm in cars a lot while at work. In and out of them, long enough to scan through hit channels (NOT talk radio), and find a song I like.


Lately I can't find music I like. It has to be a station that plays a lot of older songs (pre-08).


Rap and country primarily have gone down the drain. The songs they're coming up with are HORRIBLE. Repeating a 3 second phrase and calling it a chorus.


Rock is getting there too - a lot of it is the same style that EVERYONE else is playing and it all sounds the same.








I know for a fact I'm not the only person tired of hearing crap.





Aren't there MILLIONS of people trying to put their style of the music on the radio? Seriously? They can't find better than horrible remakes of ';love is a battle field';?








Has the number of people trying to write hit songs died off?


Or are they just trying to stick with a type of music/artists that they think will sell?








I dono, I just thought with the economy, maybe a bunch of people gave up on writing music and trying to air it... B/c they had to find a more reasonable way to make money...?











Anyone have any insights on this?What is wrong with the radio these days (this is not a rant)...?
= MONEY = One word should answer all your questions. It is not about the listener anymore. Just MONEY!!
