Its 16 minutes long lol!!!

Well worth listening to though if you actually think music's taken a decline. That album is one of the greatest of any era in terms of songwriting and musicianship

Despite everything I've said these are some good points. But this speaks to me about what is trending more than what is available.

I think a key difference with today vs yesteryear is that back then, you were kind of just stuck with whatever was popular. You had a radio, you could watch tv, you could go to local shows. That's it. But now you have unfettered access to all music being made the world over. That's an insane difference.

Access, sure, but with todays advertising capabilities and the fact that there are effectively monopolies on certain parts, things can still be throttled. Remember when Drake released Scorpion, and it was shoved down everyones throat ESP on Spotify? You could search country and hes on the top of the list.

Also I love Jacob Collier, hes probably one of the best musicians in pop music since Stevie Wonder. And if someone doesnt like Stevie Wonder I can just consider their opinion irrelevant.

That said Jacob Collier isnt a great songwriter IMO, but he can do everything else and does have some good ones.

Popular music has objectively gotten worse. And by popular I mean radio, top 40, etc. Theres been studies that show popular music has become much more homogenized over time since the 1960s. Major producers have gotten mass appeal down to a science, and as a result everything on the radio sounds the same. Of course, theres a ton more music choices today that you cant hear on the radio compared to 1960.

It's not about being biased It's about being correct. Sure today's artists are more talented at using computer programs, but the older artists are better musicians.

The Old Heads have a right to criticize current music, they understood way better than most since Music was a pretty big thing from the 60s to 90s.

The music in the early to mid 2000s was decent, but it started to take a plunge sometime during the very late 2000s.

This isn't to say there wasn't bad music back then, but terrible music is more common nowadays.

One thing I can't stand is current Metalheads thinking their bands are the shit when they sound like shit when its all undecipherable growls and pointless noise, I get some people may like that weird aggressiveness, but it sounds incredibly pointless.

reeeaaaaalllly

sure that might apply to some musicians. Basement dwellers and organ grinders

but someone who plays every week as their primary income, taking crowd requests that range from Fergie to AC/DC to Billie Eilish to Allman Brothers to Black Sabbath to Destinys child to Drake to Backstreet Boys to Beach Boys to miike snow to Silverchair to Adele to Kings of Leon to Leon Bridges to Ray Charles to-

it goes all day

I mean I know a looot of songs; the ins and outs of how to play and perform them all. I think that definitely speaks to something.

So God of Eternity how about you bust out some stuff youve written if youre so quick to be an expert :)

I don't hate current music. I just don't care for it. I don't know who are the big artists now, but I don't go around complaining about them either because that's petty and dumb. I don't know why that's considered a bad thing. "OMG you don't know who ___ is!? Get out from under your rock old man!"

People can be just as snobbish and ignorant towards old music as well.

Yes, having never heard of the most popular artists is worthy of derision, no matter how old you are. It means you don't go anywhere or do anything.

Problem with this is in literally every generation it is way easier to find over produced stuff because... Well, shit. That's what people party/dance to.

As I get older, my musical tastes have remained pretty fluid honestly, but I put in effort to find stuff that I like from newer artists.

And so what if I don't? I don't know who they are because I don't care. I don't know who are the most popular athletes or actors either because I don't follow that sort of stuff either. And I certainly don't go anywhere or do anything with a pandemic going on.

Space bass/weird bass genre is another newish genre. It's a more experimental and trippy bass genre that incorporated dubstep, trap, glitch hop, psydub, etc... Put headphones on and expect brain to be melted.
