Taylor Swift put out four new songs the same day Ms. Rachel dropped I'm So Happy while her friend, Ed Sheeran, played puppet for Robert Kraft. Macklemore meanwhile took the Free Palestine dates and sold them all out and Massive Attack's Robert Del Naja was arrested in the UK for a sign supporting Palestine Action.

    I find the music I listen to stays just as good no matter who else are doing music.

    Yeah, they have been doing that for around 20 years, why is it news now?

    Ugh, can't bring myself to watch a video with such a hyperbolic and ignorant title that can only come from the mind of someone who only listens to the radio. Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift are big acts but they don't represent music as a whole. They don't even represent pop music as a whole.

    The description even acknowledges artists who aren't "ruining" music....turns out the bulk of musicians fit that category.

    And why is this in an FuckTheUSA community? Ed Sheeran is extremely British.

    swift fans said she lost her shtick when she started dating kelce, so her music has been vanilla for thier taste.

    There is a conspiracy theory that her agreement to buy her masters included behavior clauses that effectively forced her to tone down her rhetoric.

    Wouldn't surprise me one bit if it was true.

    Yawn. Every generation has a POPular singer/band that is ruining music. Don't like it? Don't buy it.

    They are playing the algorithm, people did the same in the past with TV and magazines.

    Also human relationship with music is kinda weird, seems more of an addiction
