Cultural relativism aside, I’m sure we can agree on “terrible” if we talk it out. I’m not asking for a “well X country is worse than Y country, so, Y country isn’t THAT bad”. I’d say for this discussion we can go as far back as 1800 for “past” as I’m currently convinced there isn’t a country with a perfect track record going back even that short a time.
You’re equating pirate radio with “terrible things”?
It depends on what kind of music I suppose. Like if it was polka they’re cool. But if it was orchestral…
Orchestral would be cool too. But if it was Morgan Whalen and that dudebro pop country shit…
