music genres are generational change my mind
@Nudhul hyperpop is only listened to by the deranged
@PurpCat i was thinking biden's gen had original rock and roll, boomers had disco, gen x was punk and metal, millenials have dubstep and emo, and zoom zooms have nightcore
@RustyCrab @Nudhul @PurpCat Zoomers really don't have a genre to themselves on part of the music scene being fucking dead. They just listen to the best hits of prior generations.
@Forestofenchantment @Nudhul @PurpCat I admit I still don't really know WHAT is going on with the music scene that's made "mainstream" material grind to a screeching halt. My speculation for a while has been some kind of complete breakdown in syndication networks. Mainstream music was never a democratic process. It was dictated by whoever was paying to get played on the radio over and over again all day. Those were what became "the classics" that get played in physical stores. Obviously nobody listens to the radio anymore so the forcefeeding mechanism they had has to be relegated to promoted tracks on spotify and the like. I don't know how effective that is.
@RustyCrab @Nudhul @PurpCat I recommend The Honest Broker. He talks at lengths at times on the "State Of The Culture" and how music has stagnated. He thinks it's several things:
1. Copyright law becoming so litigious that merely unconsciously copying melodies from a demo sent in to your recording studio is grounds for LAWSUITS UP THE ASS. Leading to labels not accepting demo tapes anymore, the primary way of new artists to get their material out in the past.
2. Money. There flat out isn't as much money being put into finding new styles and artists anymore. And what investments there are being made are being put in to older classics.
3. We have moved into a dopamine culture. Gone are the days of mainstream artists releasing albums. Music degenerated into hit singles, and then later short snippets made for social media. Now how can music evolve in 15 second chunks intended for maximum dopamine hits?

@Forestofenchantment @RustyCrab @Nudhul imo we are merely living in the late stage of the trashy culture of the past few years, where two console generations so far have been polluted by bullshit, where half the people you went to high school with became like Chris Chan, where you're paranoid the roastie is going to fuck your job up and send you back to your shit parents/the tent camp.
