>Be old>Encounter youngfags who are into music in the wild.>Talk to them about what they are into>All the same shit I was into at that age, including the stuff that was "fresh" at that time>Either zero new artists, or Black Midi and zero other new artists.What was that about this place just being out of touch and cultural cohesion not being measurably dead?
>>124435769or maybe the only "youngfags" who interact with you are social outcasts into weird, shitty music.

>>124435769traditional art is played out. now people mostly do tik tok clips, memes, social media hot takes, culture war stuff, ect
>>124436769Add to this the information age that opened up avenues to a crap ton of overlooked artists from the past. With such a wealth of great material from the past at the palm of your hand, there isn't as much of an impetus to explore or create new music.
>>124436834No, flatout disagree there. We've had that wealth of knowledge for 2 decades now and it's only lead to further expansion of people's desire to create in the past.
>>124435769>I saw a young person with a Sonic Youth shirt, surely that means something about culture as a whole
>>124436834There does seem to be a gradual musical decline that coincided with the information age. It's tough to pin down the exact reason(s) for it though.
>>124437246>It's tough to pin down the exact reason(s) for it though.No it isn't. There have been three "once in a lifetime" economic meltdowns in the last 25 years and nobody has any money to either get some buddies and a van and go play shows, or pay to go see four guys in a van selling drugs at their shows.
>>124437310That's one factor, but there are a looooooot of reasons music is so shit these days.
>>124436834Either that and/or the increased abundance of dopamine-fueling, time-consuming distractions via social media, video games, porn consumption, ect. robbed people of the boredom that served as a creative stimuli for art. And perhaps those things also diverted the remaining creativity away from traditional modes of art and towards what was noted here >>124436769
>>124436710He's right though.
>>124436769>traditional art is played outthis has been said for literally hundreds of yearsyour statement itself is in keeping with tradition
>>124440861yeah but this time it's true.
>>124435769Schlagenheim really is that good
>>124440861Modern technology is a real game-changer, anon.
