You’re listening to pop music with southern accents. That’s like me lamenting the state of rock while listening to maroon 5 and Coldplay instead of The Rolling Stones and Radiohead or doing the same for rap but listening to Macklemore and Cardi B instead of Tupac and Kendrick Lamar.
Try this stuff and if you still hate it, fair dues.
