The snare drum is one of my favorite instruments, as it has a very unique and cool sound. The particular Radiohead song you used as an example is undoubtedly shit. Because the whole thing is basically a mindless loop. But to be so audacious as to say "the past 60 years has been music for retards" is one of the most mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging, smooth-brained boomer things you could have possibly said. If you're going to jump to moronic hyperbole, don't expect anything else in response.

For every artist that puts actual thought and care into how they use each instrument, how they complement each other, how they can tell a story with their music, etc. There are a dozen retards who slap shit together that they think sounds amazing in their drug/alcohol induced stupor.

Edit: With all that out of the way, historically and practically, drums are used to maintain a beat. They're always the most formulaic instrument in any piece of music. Everything else is built off of the beat.
Try listening to any piece of music where the drums are off-beat from everything else, or where the drums don't set a proper beat at all. The discordance is literal murder on your ears.
