thought this was a davidp thread

Cop the perma it’ll hurt less

Nope

lol drake lost and now niggas are questioning if they even like music

they're gonna call you old and say how "omg you should be listening to this microtrend hyped album that we'll only talk about for two weeks max 🤓☝️" and that "real music is out there you just gotta dig in the deepest corners of the internet"

but i understand the sentiment especially from a mainstream point and with specific genres/movements not being in their artistic prime in comparison to 10/15 years ago

there is still good music out there, but i don't think this mindset is one to be automatically dismissed

When ur enjoyment of music is based on the spectacle of album sales(…?) then you’d be pretty depressed when the shows over

""omg you should be listening to this microtrend hyped album that we'll only talk about for two weeks max 🤓☝️"

there's so many projects that get this same exact treatment online

Mainstream music yeah

But not anything else really

this music s*** is everything to me man..

I’m not gonna disagree but the phenomenon of mainstream culture and superstars and mass zeitgeist has only been around for 70 years and there was never indication of it lasting forever

27 and i’m with OP.

Was in the car playing Tyler new album with my wife and neither of us were feeling it beside a few songs, and even those weren’t crazy. Then we went back to songs like “Smuckers” and “48” and said out loud “damn; people don’t make music like this anymore.”

Idk maybe it’s just aging like wine, and this album can too. But in it’s current state everything just seems so deflating. Like it’s a chore to get though.

Not all music though. Jean Dawson album is fresh air, some other albums/songs too, but overall is just so meh

Whenever I run out of music I let my Spotify play past a playlist and the recommended tracks usually lead me to a new artist that fits my preference

That’s how I first found Cleo sol a few years ago

Nothing is really hitting anymore. But I think I'm just depressed.

I honestly enjoy a lot of music still.

Even the supposed bad or mid albums, I find a few songs I really like.

Maybe there aren't as many consistently great projects (if I had to guess the change in distribution probably plays a role) but there's still great music.

Plus I feel people simply don't give music chance like that, they have like 1 listen max and form opinions.

Then post stupid s*** 1 year later how it was actually good and aged well when the music was simply good the moment it came out but you were too adamant about calling it mid based off your single listen and in some cases, the pre-formed opinions about certain artists.

yes if you listen to only what social media forces upon you

The whole way we market and interact with media has changed.

Gotta affect music somehow tbh.

u big mad

people are having a hard time figuring out that streaming services are just the radio

you've gotta dig again, there's no indie site telling you about s*** anymore Especially not KTT

Yeah

spittin

What year did it peak and what year did you graduate high school

It has been vastly devalued because of streaming.
