Grenade thrown

Obviously meant to get a reaction.

I agree when it comes to some contemporary blues... there's a tired sameness to a lot of it these days.

Very formulaic, lots of BB King imitation guitar licks, by-the-numbers horn sections, etc.

Like a lot of other older genres that have become the fiefdom of a few producers and labels, and serve an audience that likes to have all the rough edges sanded down.

Most modern blues is pretty dull, but it's not a dull genre in itself. I mean, rock and roll wouldn't exist without it, so it's kind of stupid to say 'I hate the blues' without qualifying it.
