Music wasn't ruined in 2010, it was way before. And the problem broadly stems from putting no emotion into music. Pop music was really never about anything insightful lyrically, but I suppose it would convey its ideas more poetically in the 40s-70s, but still all the songs were pretty empty. Of course it's not just lyrics that make music good, but even in the instrumental itself, you can tell when there's creativity and feeling in it, and those have been declining steadily for at least 15 years now.
