I think my granddaughter Bippy likes Tay-Tay, as she calls her.
So I went on YouTube and tried to listen to some of her music:

Good God, am I an old geezer or what? I found it so boring! Yargh! I couldn't stand it. I tried two songs and that was enough for me. Nyet. Nein. Non. No. I could wait to hit the pause button.
I find a lot of so-called art sucks these days. Why is that? Is the work crap, or is it me?
I can't stand most pop novels and most so-called literary novels and most mystery novels and most literary short stories and most popular music and most new visual art.
Is it me, or is the culture drowning in crap?
You decide. And let me know what you think.
(Don't disappoint me now. You know the right answer.)

It's not the culture, it's you. Is that the right answer?
Actually, I'd say the thing with Taylor Swift is she speaking to kids like your granddaughter ... and in that context, I think what she's doing is perfectly fine.
No, no, that isn't what you are supposed to say.
But thanks for your misguided comment anyway. ;-)
Yeah, at least it isn't violent or pornographic. Thank Zeus for that.
