why is the majority of new music so polluted with irony and post irony? why are artists so afraid of writing music with complete sincerity?
irony in the lyrics or ironic in arrangement?
i think yuno miles is the only good musician left

>>129052030It's the result of the overall cultural paradigm contstraints.We live in a society in which overt aggression is frowned upon or even illegal.So the only way to poke at someone is through this kind of indirect, hidden form of personal slight, which is irony.Irony is a feminine aggression, as it's typically done by someone who lacks the physical power and confidence to stand behind his direct threats. So he/she attacks someone's confidence, looks, self awareness, through mockery. It's a challenge of someone's power done in this remote way, from behind the safety of 'my personal space', so you don't risk any fallout.It's also noncommittal, you can pretend you don't care either way, you're just trolling the target.So it fits this nihilistic zeitgeist.

>>129052030Next up is gonna be the mannerized brand of "anti-irony" pseudo-sincerity. This strand of copium has existed at least since the late 80s, I think it was generally trending in 2020-2024 because people were mindbroken by lockdown, but then it died out. But I think normies continuing to have irony backfire on them, plus insecurities about A.I., will cause it to come back for real this time. It'll be like the main thing, like how deliberate insincerity is the main thing now. That's my prediction. It'll be real fucking annoying, forced fake sincerity.

>>129052030>the majority I guess you mean American/anglo music, but in the rest of the world it's nit like that. Probably due to the fact that anglo society is a joke.
