Yep, I don't particularly care for any modern popular music. What's funny is a few days ago while a friend and I were travelling she decided to put on the radio and after a couple songs I started thinking, WTF am I listening to?

See, I have a habit of actually pay attention to the lyrics of a song and then analyzing them. Trust me, if you like modern music or modern music artists, do not do this. What's also weird is I had the same problem that you did with distinguishing between artists, everything started sounding very familiar. To the point I could sound out parts of songs I never heard with a fair degree of accuracy.

When I asked my friend how she could listen to this stuff so easily she simply stated its because its catchy. At first I thought wow that is silly but thinking more I am probably the same, but in my case I can't know what the singer is saying or there can't be a singer at all.
