Music has been predominantly bland for 20 years or more, in the mainstream channels. It's depressing.
And I want to say I just got older and so mainstream music isn't for me, but... it's bland. I'm not like older people aghast over Marilyn Manson. I'm older and fucking bored with how lame music is now.
That captures the difference so well.
It used to be that older people thought new music was evil or monstrous or too abrasive to count as music.
Now, they find it too boring to listen too.
If you didn’t see it, Beato did a nice video on how the music industry went to shit starting in the 90s once all the stations were monopolised leading to everything trying to appease only a few people’s tastes.
Oh yeah. I haven't seen that video and thanks for the recommendation, but I lived through Clear Channel and the rest scarfing up all my local radio stations and turning them to shit just as the internet was beginning to really catch on. They made it easy for the iPod revolution to happen, playing the same garbage on every station.
I feel the same way about modern music but I can’t tell if it’s the music or just me getting old.
Here's why I think it's not just us getting older: every generation in the past would look at new music and be freaked out and shocked... we're bored.
You seem shocked by how boring it is, old man.
Get off my lawn!
I know this chain specified mainstream channels at the start, but I notice these kind of sentiments about modern music in general and I can't help but disagree. There's lots of really interesting modern music out there if you're not just looking in wide appeal places. I also think it's weird to use shock as a metric. Any internet generation is going to have a much higher threshold for being shocked. And even then it still does happen to some extent think Lil Nas X's Montero or WAP.
Yeah, there is interesting music in certain areas, but not nearly as much as there used to be. I have to sift through a lot of nonsense to get to the good stuff.
