Because like 3 companies own nearly all radio stations in the US, so they're all the same

Except I'm in Europe. I think it's just a common thing of those kind of radio.

They played shit like Candlebox for two decades to wear down any resistance to crap music. The people that still cared are long gone from radio listening I imagine.

Woah woah woah, let's not bring grunge into this

I would never have classified them as grunge, they were just around during the same time period.

Yeah, sometimes I turn the radio on because I just don't wanna fiddle with Bluetooth, smartphones etc and it's faster. But holy moly sometimes I turn it back off after 5 seconds.
