Music only keeps getting 'worse' by your meterstick because crackers can't help but steal whole genres from the people actually invested in creating them and advancing them; then the settlers water down what they stole til it can be hocked to a lowest-common-denominator consumer. Happened with blues, jazz, rock and roll, (not disco; the crackers burned that for being too queer), and hip-hop.
The oppressed will always make art that touches the soul; it's not our problem that you don't recognize that. You don't sound like you've ever been immersed in the places where it happens; which leads me to believe this is just speech from a place of theory but no physical investment or interaction with the people actually moving around outside.
Disrespectful assed motherfucker I swear to god you sound white with this pithy snark shit. Try this on for size: "I'm talking out of my ass right now, and will strive to put an end to this redditor-tier doomerism until I actually take a good, long walk through the underground".
Like damn I'm not even gonna chop up underground artists or even just subjects-of-empire I love that stay on hard ART, you live in an era where Aesop Rock, Kendrick Lamar, Tyler the Creator, Doechii, Zeal and Ardor, Serj Tankian, Daron Malakian, Shavo Odadjian (all solo, mind), Sleep Token, TOOL, Poppy, and HELLA OTHER MUSICIANS all dropping like their lives depended on it and you're out here talm bout "music is getting worse".
You live in an era where those unserved and underserved by the industry have been pushing the very concept of 'genre' itself to its breaking point themselves, and you're out here talm bout "music is getting worse".
You live in an era where more people than ever before have means to self-production, an era where 'DIY' actually means some shit, and you're out here talm bout "music is getting worse". I can't take motherfuckers like you seriously and it fundamentally disgusts me you fix your face to talk on the subject.

this is when music was alive, if you know of any place right now where music is as alive as at that club in 1963 please tell me id love to go there
I’d post up my favorite diy punk venue but it would be bad opsec. There’s got to be a place just like it in every mid to large city and they’re putting the best sounding most talented people you’ve never heard of on stage.
"When music was alive" this some absolute oldhead talk. Get out of my replies; you are not serious enough to chop it up with me on this subject and you are no longer welcome to it. Soundin exactly like the oldassed barbershop mfs we swore we was never gonna become
Muting doesn’t exist and blocking wrecks threads you’re involved in. Just take accountability for having a boomer mentality
Yes you know more about materialism than anyone which is why you’re right and they’re all wrong.
