Is that what trav be saying

I don't think popular artists aren't experimenting because they are worried about how cool they look

I think they are pushed to do whatever makes the most money and what is popular/good to most people is decided by an algorithm that tries to appeal to teenagers instead of how music was gate kept before

when someone said here "what does the 2020s actually sound like" I felt that

Theyre right.

It sounds like an aesthetic

Yep, rappers are way too conscious about image, and therefore take themselves too seriously nowadays. Also, a lot of these new rappers aren't cool/cultured like in the past, new school rappers move like High School/College Students.(and that's who they appeal too)

assthetic

You’d be surprised man

The way Nort would extend this to 4 and include Man Of The Woods

Cacpinion

Justin got like one of the best Neptunes albums during their prime too

This Saturday I'm gonna take a bus alone to a mall and play justified by Timberlake and smoke a blunt and play pokemon on the gba

Living like it's 2002

Yup
You need airpods

Within good reason

Dumbass gen alpha kids will write off genuinely creative and unique stuff that sounds good if it doesn’t fit a certain mold that the streamers they watch will gas up.

It makes sense why some of them are scared to really innovate.

You’re only really given a pass for trying something innovative if you have a fanbase that supports it as apart of your aesthetic

Like Kanye in the 2010s

believe it or not I'm a total music dork

maybe I'm just getting old but innovation naturally will slow down over time

I'm not saying something can't sound fresh but it seems mindblowing musical innovation is a thing of the past

You gonna use a Walkman?

You’re on KTT2

Ofc you’re a music dork
