Somebody please convince me that it's just me getting older and current music isn't a steaming Mr Whippy.

No, because its a steaming Mr Whippy.

It's just you getting older. Chart music is brilliant these days.

The good music is there, you just have to look harder.

i never check the charts anymore

I blame Top of the Pops moving from a Thursday evening. It's the one defining moment when popular music was lost to me forever.
