Rock band Nine Inch Nails' frontman Trent Reznor has slammed pop music calling it a "desperate plea for commercial airplay".
The 51-year-old rocker is not impressed by both "boring" rock music and the endless thread of "tweed pop songs," reported Female Music.
"...I can't think of anything that has happened in the rock spectrum that has felt, and I am sure there are that I am just not thinking of right now, but in general it's not saying much. It's not including good stuff out there, but in general I am not blown away by five records a month that are speaking to me. Everything feels a bit tame and a lot like something else that has happened. Plight.
"I think some of the tastemaker elements and hipster arena has leaned towards the praising of gentle familiar R&B, tweed pop stuff. A lot of what is blessed is the cool thing. It feels pretty generic and also feels, a lot of it, like a desperate plea for commercial airplay and success," Reznor said.
