Yea and same s*** happenin to me

The Turning Wheel soon!!

The point being its a far higher percentage of those types than it was in eras preceding, and I say that really bc these dudes wear that motivation on their sleeve, in their music

impressing their peers or trying to make classic music is rarely what I hear out these dudes

what exactly you referring to with that

also i didn't feel like your initial post was directed at me tbh but i was just pointing it out. Just because people go through certain phases of enjoying something more or less for a while doesn't necessarily mean there isn't a huge love for the music & culture

but i do realize there are a lot of people for which it IS actually true. You can especially notice with people who use hiphop music to get a quick buck or fame

These new rappers are geared towards high schoolers

Well put! There’s so much music to discover it’s endless which is a beautiful thing

it's almost like no one is dropping anymore

weird

This actually can be a sign of depression

Happened to me a couple years ago, just lost all interest in it for real with everything that was going on in my life back then.

There's also things you can do to try to break the malaise

Started a CD collection of my fav s*** and that's given me some happiness during quar

Listen to new genres. I guarantee you'll fall back in love with music.

Yeah ur right. I just know that’s there’s a lot of ktt users that only big up the music from like 2011-2015. Another before or after that to them is trash. So sometimes I gotta question how much they really like rap

Rn feels like right before the blog era started when it wasnt a lot of good music and we needed some new s***

Money was a motivation for most. I'm not denying that. But really trying to be the best (or biggest) on a musical tip was usually an even bigger factor. You dont even gotta go back to the 90s or 00s, Drake, Kendrick, Cole, it applies to the 10s Big 3. 50, Ye, Em, Wayne, Game, Ross, they all wanted to be that nigga in the 00s

What Im arguing is that the current crop, primarily, looks at music as a means for money or clout first second and third. That's why a nigga like Pop Smoke, who legit wanted to carry that mantle of being an elite ass New York artist, hit different than these other drill niggas

Yeah if anything streaming is great for music lovers.

Only thing there is that the experience of purchasing an album in-stores really does create a different connection to the music, it gets its own memory, and that's been lost

With the way this sub talks about Drake it makes you wonder if they listen to anything actually interesting.

as far as artists being interesting, and having unique backstories, I feel like thats going to continue to diminish w how online things are becoming

niggas just gonna link up from breakout rooms during zoom concerts, before long

Same. I’ve started enjoying newer music way more at 24

Great way to discover music, I fw this. I think i attempt this unconsciously.

This is happening to me as well tbh, was gonna make a thread about it

Learning to produce definitely ruined the purity of listening for me, I can’t help but feel like I’ve heard it all production wise (which I know isn’t true and is a terrible feeling)

I’ve not been excited by a new artist since 2013, but then again I definitely don’t consume music like I used to

And while I still enjoy the music that listen to regularly, it’s more like comfort food then something that feels refreshing

totally, me too.

I actually that's a big part of the answer... life is repetitive in quar, many ppl are depressed, and the usual contexts we listened to music in have disappeared (eg commuting)

Yeah i def feel you, back on OG KTT the majority of the posters did seem more involved overall
