Oh my fucking god I just wanted to say how otherworldly bad music is right now (pop has always been stupid to varying levels but oh my fucking god they have raised the stakes). I just listened to a bunch of pop tracks from various genres and I literally think I’m about to die. Rock, country, indie, folk, hipster white rap, whatever you call home, is aggressively bad. It’s like Walmart made a gun that can shoot cum and blood and piss and shit and puke into your soul. We are so fucking fucked. I want to saw my own head off.

Revisiting this after sleeping more and yeah, sorry for the temp lock. I see people in my inbox saying to keep it up, so keep it up we will.
Boomer ass take and I’m nearly 40 lol

You: despairing that the top 5 tracks on Spotify are soulless garbage
Me: clicking random folders on random soulseek accounts and finding nothing but bangers
When I see this I chuckle. You’re your parents now. ‘music was only good in my generation.’
Musics always been good and inventive if you look deep enough. They had king crimson, we had mars volta, and the kids have closures in Moscow. They had a tribe called quest, we had little brother, and the kids have Costa contra. Don’t be stagnant.
lol no? there’s good music coming out all the time. you’re just out of touch
Every single generation has reached the age where they say “music was better in my day” and they’re always wrong.
Chappel Roan is the best thing to happen to pop music since ABBA
Chappell Roan is the best thing to happen to pop music since ABBA
Good take. We need Chappell emotes.
If I hear “Pink Pony Club” one more time in a bar this year, I am going to go nuts. Nothing wrong with Chappell Roan, but dear Lord that song has been over played.
Man I’m still mourning SOPHIE
Every single generation has reached the age where they say “music was better in my day” and they’re always wrong.
Or maybe they were always right and capitalism is slowly killing all the beauty in the world.
Okay I love ABBA I need to listen to her then. Any recommendations? Just put on her latest album or is there anything else?

Y’all just listening to the wrong music
Realest take I ever saw come from .zip
Rock, country, indie, folk, hipster white rap, whatever you call home, is aggressively bad
So, did you want to say rap here but realize it could come off wrong, so you said white rap instead? OR did you not realize you can listen to nonwhite rappers? Because it’s got to be one of those, right?
Get 'em
Dunno what’s up with op buuuut… When i was a teenager in buttfuck-redneck-midwest-nowhere listening to doggystyle and the chronic in my car i would actually turn down the music if i saw a black person nearby as i really, truly had a half-assed thought process picked up from my peers (both white and black) that i shouldn’t be. Like they’d judge me, almost like i believed there was some kinna unspoken rule that it was not mayomusic, or that i was a [slur] for listening to “their” music, that the artist didn’t make it for me at all. Like stolen valor or some shit i dunno
Anyway maybe it’s the same for this cat or maybe it ain’t but that’s my origin story and i can’t figure how to end this comment well… Fuuuuu-

You know there’s other music than pop right? This is on par with people proclaiming gaming is dead after buying whatever the latest gaming fad shit and conveniently ignoring anything else
I’ve been listening to a lot of good music this year, no idea what you’re going on about.
All I’m gonna say is that if this was in badposting it’d be a GOOD post.
I originally deleted this, but im restoring it so OP can see the replies and ask questions to hopefully find something they like.
Sorry yall, tired and grumpy
Thank you for not over-moderating, it’s always annoying to see popular threads get nuked.
Yeah don’t delete this there is literally no reason to
Thank u for recognizing that and restoring the post. It is inoffensive and does not violate the CoC, and mods using their permissions to dictate that the site can only be used as defined by the caprice of the mods is exactly why everyone has been pissed at mods recently.
Also, wow, the CoC is very well written and should be quoted and cited way more. We could have really saved a lot of struggle, both from users, mods, and admins, if everyone adhered to: if this site is not fun for you right now, log off and come back later.
Noo we must be the mod stasi
To stop being an elitist about music is probably the one thing that made me closer to inner peace and open to other humans
One day I realised that most of what I used to hate was what people who were less privileged than me enjoyed
Now I agree that there is a mentally destructive Kulturindustrie that robs the people of their popular musical practices by commodifying it.
But it’s also important to realise that most traditional non-commodified music wasn’t some advanced shit either and was very much looked down upon by the ruling classes before becoming cool and authentic

Same here. I work with the mentality that in every broad genre of music, there’s going to be something someone likes. It just takes a bit of open minded exploration to find it
I used to absolutely be one of those prick
types who would say “I listen to everything but rap and country”, make fun of those two genres etc, now country is one of my favourite genres and I’ve found my niche for rap as well
Music has never been better. There’s so much out there. If you’re intentionally poisoning yourself with things you don’t like like, that’s sort of on you.
