It’s not nostalgia
Every art medium is in the worst state its ever been
Algorithms and focus groups curate everything we consume now
Lmao aren’t you a bad bunny d***rider?
Yeah BB is the best in the world right now. Not even top 5 in his own genre imo tho lol the middle class from 15 years ago would dominate todays era--in most genres
But indie s*** is still flourishing
It’s just that mainstream used to have higher standards and now we just rely on indie acts to meet those standards that the mainstream guys aren’t giving us
exactly it’s easier than ever to discover non mainstream music like you’re putting yourself in a box
the criticisms you laid out can really only be applied to current mainstream rap music, lol.
Pop is all about sex, too. Meg, Cardi, Grande etc...lol Fiona Apple dropped an actual good well crafted pop album recently and it got roasted on the internet for being different/critic bait
Hell, even Beyonce is cursing in her music now(bad bunny influence btw). Reggaeton/latin music worse than ever right now, even though its more popular than ever. Rap worse than ever right now. Rock, ditto. Shall I continue?? I can take this from y'all now--I wanna see if y'all still feel the same in 10-15 years about this era of music.
monoculture doesnt exist you arent really gonna get earth shattering superstars like drake wayne ye hov etc again
bad bunny
false @Brave is dropping classics
Pop Smoke, Juice WRLD both died
Music is the worst its ever been(all genres) and its been going on for a long time. Everything is sex, everything has to "bump in the whip", trash ass trap beats, same flows, stan culture etc.... KTT just keeps swallowing.
Main comeback is always "then you aren't looking hard enough for good music!" no s***, Karen. Thats the point
I don’t agree with all of this, but as an artist who makes mysterious music, I definitely get the frustration with the feeling like your music will be overlooked if it doesn’t bump in the whip or you don’t make it short enough, or talk about s***or something.
Even still, while the audiences might not be as large, there are still audiences for other type of music, so it’s not all bad
Niggas wanna cry about “all music sounds the same” but also just load up curated playlists rather than putting in their actual due diligence to discover exactly what type of artists they’re seeking. S*** is pathetic
Subject matter , beats, cadence, flow getting old not necessarily those artist but there are plenty of artist to choose from outside of them
Smh we’re supposed to stream him to hear something different when he can’t even stream something different? No ty.
It was just a shameless plug all along
How can this be true when blackstarkids exist
