Pretty much agree. I’ve quit listening to current “Jewish music” because it seems much more like rock than Modzhitz. And the volume level at chasunehs rivals that at 60s rock concerts, the ones that left so many of my generation hearing-impaired.
I was a big fan of Ben Zion Shenker, and had some of his older tapes. When I saw that “Shabbos in Modzhitz” was coming out (on cassette, in those days) I bought it almost immediately. I took it home, put it in the player, turned it on – and almost cried. All those beautiful Modzhitz nigunim had a ROCK BEAT behind them. So much for “Jewish” music.
Yes, we have a problem with below-the-radar assimilation, and our musical tastes are one element of that danger.
