like i'm still around the culture

but it genuinely feels like s*** lmao, what the hell do people look forward too

up until like 10 years ago people used to be extra hyped for a new project every 2-3 months

Seems kids are into streamers instead of music

They get their music taste from whatever the streamers listen to, and I feel like most of them have s*** taste

Plus TikTok songs

S*** my nephews are about 10 to 13 years old and they don’t even have a fav artist or album compared to me at that age

It’s lowkey sad

Yachty literally just said that the other day.

Streamers got bigger pull with kids these days.

or maybe you’re becoming an old timer so now you think you’re right

or maybe not idk

Thats crazy! I dont believe this! Music will forever be the unbeatable Emotion

DAMN this is a good point

it seems like the void that filled us has been replaced with streamers instead of rappers

I made a thread a few weeks ago saying this, I’ve just come to the conclusion that this generation of kids just aren’t musicians. Their thing is garnering attention online not music.

I wouldnt expect a 10 year old to have a favorite album unless they were raised around music

Yeah they are wrong. We have some talented young niggas but they aren’t developed by the label

irony killed passion for music

"trying" is corny

everyone is hiding behind 7 layers of sarcasm at all times

everything is mid

"Scaring the hoes", "bumps in the whip" etc..

Ok...keep going down that road fellas

maybe its just evolution

streaming wasn't around when we were growing up

if it was maybe ppl would opt for that more as an escape

Streaming is approaching the end game as far as rap goes. It's getting far too top heavy.

There's not a lot of middle ground anymore, just a bunch of large dudes then a bunch of forgettable ones

Im gon bring the feels back just hang on

The same way Hollywood is losing its talent, I think that the music industry doesn't have quality writers like it used to have up until the 2000s/2010s.

I seriously think David Fincher doesn't know how to make 7even anymore if you asked him to do it now. Movies just don't look as good anymore. Similarly, music is hardly ever as rich, diverse, well written and immaculately produced as the best songs by the best engineers of the 60s to early 2010s cause the ultra talented and the pioneers simply died or fell off and the new Gen got their skills from YouTube or thinks they're a writer cause they listen to TSwift.

Gen Z didn’t get a Wayne/Taylor/Drake/Kendrick

I made this point the first post of this thread and ya were looking at me like I had my head cut off.

It is literally word for word what you guys are discussing right now

The artists kids gravitate to are also too busy being kids.

Would not be surprised if IshowSpeed gives a huge boost to the 2028 Olympics than Kendrick and TSwift gave to the Super Bowl if he's truly serious about qualifying for 100m

what do you think a forum full of old timers is going to tell you

Not if the music isn’t good.

It sucks. Kids dont have any loves anymore.

Someone make KaiToThe atp

It’s the future
