Tbh
personally im coming at it from the dusthead perspective of looking at the whole timeline historically. there might be changes in the mix of how good mainstream music is vs underground (which is largely from the financial factors); and i think i agree with some of what you (+ET) are saying regarding that.
+another key thing to keep in mind imo is how we obviously can't see impact and whats really a classic until time passes. because of the cultural consensus and music just having to grow on you. so no i don't have the connection yet with a lot of 2022 and 2023 albums/songs but there are few that have settled with me more that make me believe this era will be similar enough to most others
I think it's also worth noting that the definition of what is really "mainstream" in today's environment is different and harder to pin down than in the past. its more common for us now to have decently sized hits songs that dont chart, as well as songs that chart instantly and then fall like that BTS solo member song. i dont think looking at just the billboard top 40 in 2023 and comparing it to 30 years ago gives a direct comparison of mainstream music
maybe rambling but yeah
yeah i mean idk where i really stand with it all.
like in one way, i hated pop music growing up so i dont look back fondly to britney spears and s***. nowadays it's common for me to never have heard the #1 song on billboard with the way s***s been gamed and radio's not a factor in finding music anymore.
and some of the house/techno tracks i hear are some of the best s*** i've ever heard
so i do think there's plenty of great music out there.
but when i look at the industry in general and what's popular in mainstream culture, it's hard for me to not think s***s gone downhill. fake viral marketing, bloated albums with shortened songs, lazy samples, lack of new stars, etc.
no you were just uncultured
never heard it
Soon enough we’ll all be munches
