Glad you brought up some of the musicians (Tiesto).

Looking back on "Trance" and "House" as genres they seem really vapid, vain, and dare I say it, decadent. Reading about the "mecca" of these genres, Ibiza, makes me wish I'd never listened to this stuff growing up.

Virtue signaling your dislike of music because of the environment it is played in is asinine.

Do you wish you’d never listened to Mozart? He was a serial misogynist after all.

I can understand parents not wanting their children to listen to music with explicit lyrics, but for an adult to feel this way?

Music is not decadent.

It can be. Primitive music eliciting primitive emotions is certainly decadent.
