As if there were not enough categories, these new ones are HILARIOUS. Best Songwriter? Then why have the song of the year award which goes to the songwriter? Best SONG for social change? Oh lord with this generation, how is one even going to determine this? To be honest I have not heard one song in a long time that was not a unifying of change or caring overall, are we say the 80's were the last time? This award is going to be a "token" award I can tell already, and just wait till someone questions why a song is in this category, I am sure cancel culture is salivating for this shit. Best Video Game score? WTF? How about best jingle? Best song in a commercial in a humorous way? Best Cover song? now they want two new producer awards. WHY do I see a whole "everyone gets a trophy/trinket nonsense here"

You said it much cleaner than I would have.

This generation is as soft as butter.

Every big corporation or company period is shit scared of offending anyone thanks to social media reporting and blowing outta proportion every single little thing. Use to be a few unseen customer complaints, but now with youtube, tiktok, insta and snap etc..u can complain on a muuuuch larger scale and get seen and heard no matter how petty and ridiculous your issue may be.

This was inevitable with the internet but social media just puts all tiny criticisms or "injustices" under a giant microscope.

So yes, back to the topic LOL, them trying to give out prizes for everything does of course diminish the awards itself and smacks of trying too hard not to leave out anyone.

Best studio cleaner?

Best knob polisher?

Best envelope award?

What next LOL
