Is modern music mostly just trash or is there just so much music being released now that nobody really has the time to try and find the good stuff?
>>129757331too lazy to find out
The general population doesn't really care about new entertainment any longer in terms of music or cinema. Most people are either just doomscrolling, watching sports or following streamer drama
Both, but definitely more of the former. The bar for music quality has dropped so low
>>129757331''modern'' music has always been shit to people who arent teenagers anymore
>>129757331Every era of music is mostly trash. There's only a small amount that's good and will hold up over time. Also, yes, it is time consuming finding new good stuff, and that's why most people get spoonfed by algorithms and that RYM shithole.
>>129757331I only listen to songs that I created using AI prompts
>>129757331Yes
>>129757331you can always find the good stuff anon believe in urself, let sounds carry you to higher dream worlds
>>129757331>Is modern music mostly just trashRetard, people have been saying this since, and from my perspective, since 2010. Remember the le wrong generation crowd?
>>129757885What do you consider good modern music?
>>129757331Mainstream music stopped being good by the early 90s. Good music is still being made but you'll have to work to find it.
>>129758519Post an example or two.
>>129757331as an electronic and recession pop enjoyer, its the latterthe mainstream shifted from fun happy stuff to depressing vibey music so you have to go deeeeep to find the nicer stuff from back in the day that maybe gets 50k listens on spotify nowadays
>>129758816found this the other day and enjoyed ithttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PvHHGtkYsw
There's just too much shit, you gotta get lucky with the algorithm or stumble upon something cool here. Sucks.
>>129757331I hate you
>>129758542what genre you want lazybones
>>129758881>relying on nu /mu/ for discoveries Using the algorithm is bad enough, but that is truly grim.
>>129758542https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zkpqjQYIdTk
>>129759471Any genre you want. What do you consider some of the best new music? Genuinely curious.
>>129759571https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmSagMYzsnc
in the past a lot of good artists could find their band and be remembered as a solid indie rock band, the 90s had the perfect environment for that, now these guys at best have their shit on soundcloud or bandcamp and never get the boost to go further unless their daddy knows someone
>>129759571weeeeeelll if ur gonna ask me then it might not be stuff you will like and then you'll complain and say that's why all new music sucks. I'll try to do a varietyhttps://youtu.be/9zO31GcmuiQhttps://youtu.be/H8q3yFFMgcchttps://youtu.be/ouDxDBzjNSkhttps://youtu.be/SfvSLItZ_Echttps://youtu.be/NHy8gC1Pt_Q
>>129758542nta but i thought this was a cool recent gothic/black metal song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QM6E-wO3z9c
>>129759490i've found hundreds of artists through /mu/, the site currently is much worse than it used to be but still dig up an occasional artist, problem now is you can get good recs from guys who know obscure artists but they don't filter themselves so they'll post way too many artists and just presume you have the time and motivation to check out the 100 artists, I have a huge list because of these guys of artists I haven't got around to yet, the one I found on my library the other day I hadn't given a proper listen that I enjoyed was US Maple, and then June of 44 was another one. Also Tubeway Army which I think is Gary Numans band?
>>129759632>>129759657>>129759680Non of these are good.
>>129759711you didn't listen to any of the ones I posted.
The people who are supposed to be spoonfeeding the masses aren't doing their jobs.I listen to new music all the time looking for good stuff and rarely find what im looking for
>>129759530>shitty electronica slop>>129759632>ninHasn't done anything good since year zero and ghosts imo and those aren't great either. Also I wouldn't consider nin new music.>>1297596571 - auto tune corny trash2 - it's ok3 - meh just more landfill indie4 - meh sounds like new age music with some beeps and boops5 - sounds like pretty generic slop to me
>>129759804wow pretty sad taste if you didn't find any of that even remotely good. Happy I'm not like you
>>129759680Every black metal band sounds pretty much exactly the same to me. Also can't do the growling vocals it's just so fucking corny.
>>129759804what music do you like?
>>1297598372 was decent, 3 and 4 weren't terrible. Pretty sad if you think this is great music. Happy I'm not like you too.
>>129759898lol ok dude, keep listening to whatever stuff people have told you is already good
>>129757331anything that isn't at least 40 years old and classical-adjacent is trash by definition.anyone who disagrees has low IQ and should be belittled.
>>129759848normal opinion
>>129759914oh god here come the classicaltards. Go back to your general and keep being a poser born in le wrong generation
>>129759776
>>129759711sorry ok
>>129759905So you're mad I didn't like what you told me is good lol?I'm an older "unc" as you guys say and I've turned lots of people onto good underground music over the years. Have never consumed p4k or anything like it either.
>>129760007I'm not mad that you didn't like it, I already explained myself lmao. I just said I'm happy I'm not like you. Apparently that was too much for you to take as someone who can't get into any new music, I guess
>>129759471Jazz Fusion
>>129760052im not that guy but most of what you posted is musically boring, pretty uninteresting. pretty sure we've just heard more music than you and are just desensitizedyou'll get it one day
>>129759804tront has had plenty of bangers since those albums:https://youtu.be/VJj6NjNKmvUhttps://youtu.be/Tqymo0sVUwEbut his newest (tron soundtrack) was unfortunately awful.
>>129760079lol
>>129760052You said I didn't find any of it remotely good which isn't true... you just got all pissy because I didn't praise your recs. I said 2 is decent, 3 and 4 aren't terrible just nothing special about it.
>>129760112In the first reply you said "it's ok". My bad for interpreting your original reply and not the follow ups
>>129760134No problem :)
>>129757422>''modern'' music has always been shit to people who arent teenagers anymore BS, 9 out of my top 10 favorite albums, I still hadn't listened by the time I turned 20, and all are from the 21st century. >>129759804 Agreed, generic af, I'd say a song/music is good, when it at least makes you consider adding it to a playlist, those were so generic, I won't even listen twice. I guess if you listened to similar stuff as a teen or haven't listened to much music,they could sound like something.
>>129759931insecure and low IQ reply
>>129759804>Also I wouldn't consider nin new music.its a remixhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-LFR83JQZU
>>129760079you sound like a rock unc who got bored of rock because it sounds all identical but at the same time you hate everything new that pushes sound design
>>129760289>i listen to classical therefore high iqmost low IQ reply of all time. Especially when you consider how much it still gets posted. One would think you clowns would have enough self awareness to stop parroting this ridiculous idea
>nobody really has the time to try and find the good stuff?i want to autistically focus on this point because people have more free time than ever. their attention just tends to go to superficial stuff and their attention spans in general are worsened. this in turn provides yet another strong incentive for pop musicians to make easily digestible, inoffensive music. it's much easier to invest in flashy aesthetics and sexy imagery for when they do happen to take a closer look. we have it so good by every measure imaginable and this is what you get.
>>129760287>BS, 9 out of my top 10 favorite albumslets see em
>>129760370n gl you do seem pretty low iq
>>129760372I think you're 100% correct about people's attention spans these days and all that. But I do give new music a chance and try to check out new stuff all the time by just listening to new stuff on bandcamp, checking out playlists, searching best new music in X genre etc. I hardly ever find anything that's decent let alone amazing and I'm honestly just burnt out on trying. Maybe modern musicians just don't have the attention span or drive to create anything really creative and great too? Got anything to recommend?
>>129760534the problem is you listen to music with guitars and any music with guitars has been solved so you got bored
>>129760534What do you like?
>>129760642I don't only listen to music with guitars. But yeah I don't like corny electronica or hip-hop/rap. I think it's safe to say those genres are solved too though. What are some new exciting genres?
>>129757331it's an old story. 90% of music released is mediocre. Same goes for books and films. As time goes on, the crap is forgotten and only the good stuff is remembered.
>>129760728>What are some new exciting genres?dubstep was the last new genre
>>129760736Sure, but what's the 10% coming out now that's going to be remembered in your opinion? Or even the past 10 years.

>>129760791Grim
>>129757331don't worry mu, im gonna help bring 60s pop sensibilities back into 2026
>>129760370not even reading this. I don't read posts by the mentally undeveloped.
why do you all focus on musical innovation so much. Nothing is original so making authentic music is much more important, innovation is super vague
>>129763753Post some of the best new authentic music then. Let's hear it.
>>129759571>What do you consider some of the best new music?Sevishhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HxwZVcjUzY
>>129764864boring as fuck sheeshalso mid electronics. eprom makes more interesting stuff.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZRfLK6DxVk
>>129759571>What do you consider some of the best new music?(NTA) Magdalena Bay
>>129764831thats not my point faggot retard. just saying innovation is a vague goal to have, however I personally havent found anything i liked that came this year or even in this decade
>>129764946Are you upset because people talked about originality? The new genre stuff only came up because anons claimed all existing genres are solved. You can still be original without innovating an entirely new genre. That's what gives great bands their signature sound and that's the difference between authenticity and generic slop. Try to keep up.
>>129765041try to keep yourself fkn retard
>>129765041nothing is original.
>>129764902>Magdalena BaySounds like AI pop slopkys
>>129765047>>129765056Uh oh zoomie is gonna have a breakdown
>>129765061fuck off zillenial. come on, think of something completely original for me
>>129765065Niggersamsonite
jesus why are all the people who dont like any new music in this thread so insufferable? They don't share anything they like, they make snarky replies to people's comments, they make lazy non-criticims of any music posted to dismiss it easily (just say it's not for you, no need to be a hater, calling something slop just goes to show you either didnt listen to it or have no idea wtf youre on about), and of course some of them are from the worst most pseud group of people on /mu/: the "classical is objectively the best music" crowd.
>>129765065Isn't that the point of OPs thread though? That there hasn't been any good original/authentic music in ages? You said yourself you haven't found anything you like in the past decade.
>>129765097we have to admit that this is the best album that come out this decade (not being a hater) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MIJjiW_aAFQ
>>129765058Something tells me you've never even really tried to listen to them when you dismiss them for something as obviously asinine. I bet your other deeper, conscious reasons are even dumber.
>>129757331why don't all the /mu/tants try to make what they want see in music
>>129765097Thats the thing about new music. Its easy to dismiss because it doesn't have the context of being a classic or being nostalgic. In these threads you really could post anything and it will get hate
>>129765128I just tried listening to 5 of their songs on bandcamp.
>>129765143Nah zoomers just have no standards.
>>129765112Ive never even listened to it till now and I only just did the first couple tracks. I could see it being up there for some people but seems too theatrical for my personal tastes. >>129765143thats true. Kinda sad that people on the music board aren't open minded enough to see past that though. You would think the majority here would be the type who were listening to the Velvet Underground before they were "cool". Instead it's probably the same type of people who were unaware of their existence at the time and then if they had heard them would dismiss it quickly because it was music that hadn't been endorsed by the radio or critics or whatever.
>>129765147What about them made you think it sounds like AI music? Does it matter to you at all that it's literally untrue?
>>129765176>because it was music that hadn't been endorsed by the radio or critics or whateverthis, the board is full of faggot poptimists who ruined any semblance of music discussion by constantly interjecting their mommy-issue opinions
>>129765041>bandstheres your problem rock unc

Doesn't matter if it's ai or not, might as well be. This is some of the most banal shit I've ever heard. You people are hopeless.
>>129765235I guess I should be listening to lil' poo poo and the latest female pop artists instead huh?
>>129765245It doesn't sound like AI to me because I know it's not AI.You picked their earlier and most banal, easy-listening pop tracks for some reason but even those are great imo because they're an example of what happens when you go for that with creativity and high effort in mind. There's sovl there because it really is a creative duo making it, unlike Sabrina Carpenter (doesn't sound like her anyways) who's just a front for a focus group.
>>129765253Yeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sdbIW3ceZQ
>>129765267Buy an ad
>>129765294And here we see the usual final sputter of the cynical /mu/tant, his remaining enjoyment so subconsciously nostalgic that he can't even find a consistent argument to dismiss anything. Everybody else is wrong.
>>129765311Bro you're seriously trying to recommend some Sabrina Carpenter adjacent slop.
Yall lack a lotta testosterone jeez
>>129765339I'm mostly just annoyed by retarded criticism like comparing them to Sabrina Carpenter. Magdalena Bay isn't normie slop like Sabrina. They hard filter whoever might unironically listen to her. Apply yourself.
>>129765362You should really listen to more music
>>129765387Where do I start?
>>129765391By having a genuine curiosity and interest for the medium and exploring all possible sounds and possibilities of self expression.But you listen to pop music so whatever, forget it
>>129765274
>>129765399>woke-tier 'do your own research' copoutNot a single MagBay hater has ever been able to answer anything adequately.
>>129765419>Not a single MagBay hater has ever been able to answer anything adequately.Um, I don't like it because I'm not a 13yo girl. Is that adequate?
>>129765435That's a Bulverist 'argument'. No.
>>129763672Odyssey and oracle go brrrrr

>>129763672>>129765482Who wants boring 60s music back ?, there were only 2 golden ages of music : the 70s, and this : https://youtu.be/FeJrEmS6OXk?si=k-mMVP_l4fYXDaFH https://youtu.be/Rl9ZbKuBveM?si=uoekqjCRpiSt0a09 https://youtu.be/XVTudqUih_Q?si=ofLvvNDuzwP3lqKM https://youtu.be/71wFUYUbtjs?si=ZkO1fgA_3zaFzB6d https://youtu.be/gGdGFtwCNBE?si=rBYf8elnPum6oymn

>>129765399lmao. Youre so fucking retarded dude. All that talk and they ask you a genuine question and you can't even give them a real answer. You aren't helping your case at all you're just making it look like you're a brainlet who gets off on feeling superior to others
>>129757885People are under no obligation to vibe with the "current thing". And yet that fallacious assumption is repeatedly made. Curious.
>>129767389>People are under no obligation to vibe with the "current thing"then stop calling it trash and just stfu and listen to your stuff.
it'll probably take 10 years for the good music of now to be discoveredand I'm talking about "discovered by us" not for it to get mainstream recognitionif it's out there, it's getting buried by mainstream horseshit, and the nonmainstream horseshit being pushed on music geeks.somewhere beneath all of that, somebody might be doing something good.
>>129767467Typical Social Marxist strawman
>>129767743What is the strawman?
>>129767824The hilarious meme. The idea that criticizing an object of low quality equates to "hate". It does not. It equates to having an idea of objective quality and seeing things as existing within a hierarchy.
>>129767866Okay well the reason I posted the meme is because of the OP. Maybe you should read what it says considering that's what this entire thread is about
>>129767890>>129767866unless you don't equate calling something "trash" to hating it??
>>129765142too much effort. but yeah im learning music theory because of that im getting bored of modern music so im facing the fact that i must make my own
>>129767900I didn't call anything trash sweetums
>>129767931Never said you did genius. But not only is the word trash used in the OP it is also used in the comment that you specifically replied to originally. I mean unless your comment had nothing to do with that either, in which case I'm not sure why you even bothered to post it
>>129767944It's all good. I think some lines are getting crossed
>>129767978I think the only "lines" getting crossed are the ones connected the neurons in your brain
Mostly trash and it's for the most obviously boring, non-racist, non-conspiratorial reason ever.
