The Obama-era pop folk music has always been a controversial millennial moment, but its recent resurgence online has people dubbing it the "worst genre ever."

    This article is dogshit. All the author is doing is quoting random people on Xitter that say they hate this music genre. This could have been written by AI. They also missed the chance to use the phrase “Stomp Clap Hate”.

    Is this what passes for journalism these days? Cause it’s lazy as fuck and if someone could do this - and anyone can - it’s time to switch careers.

      Right on Brother! always demand a level of investigative and hard-hitting standards for internet-culture puff pieces.

      Or maybe, like me, you’re mostly annoyed that music that I consider “new” is already a “nostalgia trend” or that the 2000s is considered a “historic period” way back 20 years ago.

    i don’t particularly love “stomp clap hey” music but you have to remember the context- this was right after the miserable corporate pop music of the 2000s. there was nowhere to go but up and this was one of those first steps in that direction., no matter how small. stomp clap hey was the weeds growing in the empty lot left behind by the 2000s that eventually lead to the meadow of listenable music returning to the pop charts in the 2020s

    stomp clap gets all the hate that emo should get. at least the stomp clapper can write a melody and play their instruments with some precision.
