>Death Grips releases a new album and it's just mid. Que an exhausting number of threads here arguing it's either complete shit or totally misunderstood.
>Charli XCX does something embarassing, doubles down, then crashes out spectacularly.
>Darkthrone releases yet another full length of blackened crust punk. No one notices.
>EDM shows become 100% AI music generated on the fly. EDM ravers don't even notice.

What's your feeling about the 2020s so far? We're 6/10 of the way through. Personally, I can think of a few albums I've liked but mostly it's all been pretty shit.
