Pop 'Music'--All 20,000,000 'Songs' (or 40,000,000, or however many there supposedly are) is something

I try to pay no attention to.  I feel that any attention that it claims from me is an invasive, importunate, unwarranted extortion.  I find it, always and invariably, with no exceptions,  gratingly ugly, quite quite stupid, shit-vulgar, and, insofar as it is aware of itself, vile, smart-alecky and nasty. I hate it,  loathe it, despise it, detest it; and, at the same time, I am irritated, appalled, annoyed and disgusted by it.  And I feel--though fully conscious of the craziness of such a feeling--that, through it, the Universe is conspiring to  persecute and afflict me--just me in particular--or others like me, if there are any.  When it obtrudes, when its obscene noise swells up, say, when I'm watching a movie on Netflix, I turn it down, way down--not infrequently watching whole movies in captions with the sound turned off, rather than having to endure even a few snippets of it.

Item (Sir Mix-a-Lot - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia):  Anthony Ray (born August 12, 1963), better known by his stage name Sir Mix-a-Lot is an American MC and producer...Sir Mix-a-Lot is best known for his 1992 album Mack Daddy and its Grammy award winning single "Baby Got Back."

Item ("Baby Got Back" from Wikipedia) "BGB" has remained popular, "even anthemic" since it was released, in 1992.  It was the second best selling song of 1992, with sales of 2,392,000 that year.  In 2008, it was ranked 17 on VH1's (?) Greatest Songs of Hip Hop...The first verse begins with "I like big butts and I cannot lie," and most of the song is about the rapper's attraction to [the] large buttocks [of negresses]....
