what do you find beneficial about listening to current pop music?
i listen to popular music from all time periods available, which is mostly 1890-2018. there are 2 reasons i can think of, 1 is it helps to learn more about the world i live in, and 2 just a lot of great music. another added bonus is it actually helps me avoid falling into trends because when you listen to all the time periods together you start to realise that everyone's just trying to make good songs, regardless of what particular snare drum happened to be on sale at the store that year
