Dream Theater's time changes in the middle of songs (some songs have up to 5 separate time changes and that is nuts) are ridiculous and, IMO, Mike Portnoy is the best drummer in the world. That said, I don't want to listen to super technical music all the time.
Low IQ music is the background soundtrack for a massive amount of people. For some that is Billie Eilish and for others that is Morgan Wallen.
My suggestion for those hating on modern music is two fold.
(1) Jump on a music streaming service and queue up whatever you like to listen to.

I listen to a lot of "low IQ" music. I love sludge, stoner, and doom music. Droning pedal tones, pentatonic riffs, the whole 9 yards.
The difference is they're playing through tube amps with analog effects for the most part. It's barely "produced" let alone polished.
Low IQ can be good. It doesn't have to be assembly line AI-generated junk.
