Rose is a Korean Australian member of Black Pink who went solo.

Meanwhile, we all have a tendency to exaggerate the merit of our "own" generation's art and music and denigrate that which comes after. When Igor Stravinsky debuted a new work in 1913 Paris, the audience rioted, supposedly upset by the jarring dissonance and jerky choreography.
Music has gotten worse for a long time. It has nothing to do with my own generation. While I think it was good (I'm 35), I also appreciated my parents and my grandparents' generation of music as equally good but different. Todays music is mostly garbage....

Change can be jarring and rebuked at first, but lyrics aren't. Content matters. And yes, there was repulsive stuff at all generations, but now it's the norm.

I know this is already old, but just think about the **** people are listening too mainstream today or in the past 10 years...I mean all I have to say is W.A.P.

I find it hard to believe you haven't heard of Lady Gaga and probably Bruno Mars.
I never heard of any of the songs, didn't say never heard of the artists.
