I haven't been listening to them nearly as much in recent years

But I'm still wondering when that albums gonna drop

The thing is my niece is 18 and my nephew is 13 and neither of them have ever heard of the s*** yall post nor their friends

So it’s not really a young vs old thing

Great artist can do that

Maybe it's just a niche thing you don't enjoy and that's fine

your nieces and nephews some bots 🤡🤡🤡

its a young as in early 20s to early 30s compared to late 30s. not like 13 year olds

also you just might not like it regardless

Hank spoke of this

and yes i shoe horned in early 30s into there

They are scared to tell you because youre old

i was tapped tf in by 18 though your niece is a bot

I think I may have already said this in some form or another itt

But gen z culture is totally fractured in comparison to the prior generations

Everybody is algorithmically sorted into hyper-niches, for better and for worse

Yup Orangutan just spoke on this

Like I could always see how someone would listen to Yung lean or bladee and be like "this sucks" too

And some of this stuff is stranger/more amateurishly done

So it's not crazy to imagine that some people just genuinely dislike it

But I don't see why their conclusion would be that everyone that listens to it is pretending to like these artists that people don't care about for the most part

It’s not good don’t worry about it

this is true. everything more fractured now.

its probably better tbh

I’m not turning my Duke Ellington off to listen to EvilWxlter man

I was chronically onlinne at 12 on my ipod touch browsing /mu/ . I am what the CIA wnats me to be

But are you mine?

he's sementient

Yeah that’s probably accurate

way worse because u got bots like artist posting slop

the media are the real bots
wake up camel

for every artist there is a cnn

makes you think

I think I caught the last chopper out of saigon as far as somewhat monocultural events goes

Totally anecdotal, but I remember when eternal atake dropped in the middle of school, there wasn't a single male who didn't pull out their headphones in the middle of class. Everybody was excited for and talked about (generally) the same music, movies, shows, sports, etc

I've asked my younger sister, who's only 4 years younger than me, what the popular s*** in her generation is, movies, memes, music, in-jokes, etc, and she said there isn't really anything universal besides the occasional mega-huge tik tok hit or meme, everybody does their own thing

And i'd follow it up with "well like, even within the cliques or friend groups at school, do they share similar media tastes" and she pretty much said that some of the hick types only listen to country or whatever, but besides that, everyone is totally individual
