>>131725200Nothing, the most useless pathetic untalented generation in recorded music history, the human era of music ended not with a bang, but with a whimper. AI will soon replace gen z artists, leaving only legacy acts able to go on tours and draw attention by releasing new music.
>>131725200Sabbath are all early boomers...
>>131725200Stomach Book>>131725648skill issue
>Millennials have Bring Me The HorizonAh yes...Good old family friendly BMTH...
>>131725648>Danny Brown worked with Femtanyl, Jane Remover, ISSBROKIE, Quadeca, Johnnascus, Underscores, Cynthoni (Sewerslvt) and Frost Children on the Stardust album last year and co-signed Lucy Bedroque>Kendrick Lamar co-signing or working with La Reezy, Doechii, Peysoh, Baby Keem and Young Threat.>Porter Robinson working with Ninajirachi>Playboi Carti building up the Opium roster with Ken Carson, Homixide Gang and Destroy Lonely along with working on YVL.>Skrillex brining on Knock2, Frost Children, Tiffany Day and Slayr on a live show>I literally just came back from seeing August Burns Red play with I Promised The World and two local bands like 5 days ago.>HURR DURR AI WILL SOON REPLACE GEN Z ARTISTS AND ONLY LEGACY ACTS WILL REMAIN HUMANITY IS DOOMED BECAUSE I AM A RIGID SACK OF SHIT THAT CAN'T EXPLORE OUTSIDE OF MY OWN BOUNDARIES WAAHHHHHH>Gen Alpha aren't even adults yetShit is grim but you just have to keep pushing forward. Also maybe... just maybe... we actually still want to see our artists live? Shocking right?
>>131727920Best post, this guy gets it
>>131727920What an awful dogshit pile of garbage you mentioned, thanks for proving my point... issbrokie, playboi carti, slayr, jane remover... AI already produces better material than these halfwits you so proudly mentioned, nobody on that list interest me in any way, they're in no way better than Drake, or any other slop creators that are popular to shit on on music rating sites. You mentioned me being "rigid", then why don't YOU try changing your (dogshit) taste too ? you braindead scum.Go get your ears checked, they're already rotten from listening to such garbage, even AI would be ashamed of.
>>131725200Sombr
>>131727920You could've had a good argument but you listed absolute shart. Is this really what Gen Z has to offer? What's next, you're gonna pull out fucking Geese? Music is dead and Gen Z killed it.
>>131728038I only like about a third or the artists on that list. Also who else am I supposed to fucking listen to from artists my age? It's either that stuff or mediocre versions of old genres. >No way better than DrakeYou can't be fucking serious. Fucking scumbag.Also I used to be rigid rockist that's what came out. I was into "Real Emo", Old Indie, 90s and 2000s Hip Hop and Old Alt Rock and I had to adapt to Trap music in order to get into modern music.Maybe I should just fucking give up. Fuck this board. Fuck modern music. Fuck old music and fuck you.
>>131728124Said the fucking Hipster. Sitting on your fucking barely producing any fucking bands that anyone gives a fuck about that aren't Australian. Kill yourself parasite.
>>131728124I listed those artists BECAUSE THEY WERE ONES THAT ESTABLISHED MILLENNIALS worked with. It wasn't fully objective you fucking prick.
>>131728134>>131728124Gen X killed music. The late 80's and early 90's is when music became entirely unlistenable.
>>131728038Again I mentioned them because Millennial artists were working with them. That was the fucking point. Dickhead.
>>131728138Millennials are still yet to establish. They are still fighting off boomers and their hoarde of foreigners who Gen Z is helping.
>>131728127>Also who else am I supposed to fucking listen to from artists my age? It's either that stuff or mediocre versions of old genres. You listen to old music. Like you said, get out of your boundaries. There's more than /mu/core.>I had to adapt to Trap music in order to get into modern music.So you forced yourself to eat shit and like it? Talk about Stockholm syndrome>Maybe I should just fucking give up. Fuck this board. Fuck modern music. Fuck old music and fuck you.Fuck you too!>>131728134You're the parasite zoomersharter. Good music can't strive if we give commercial, algo-hungry shart attention. Try looking through bandcamp ;)
>>131728144That's just fucking bait and you know it
>>131728151Not that Anon but I do want to see my favorite artists die. If you are from the London/Hollywood machine your best work and best days are gone.
>>131728151I'm not looking through tons of mediocre shit on Bandcamp. Fucking Millennigger. I developed my own filters. I'm already out of my boundaries (yes the irony) because I listen to all periods regardless.
>>131728163You've only ever listened to mediocre shit.
>>131728149>Still yet to EstablishKendrick Lamar, Drake, Taylor Swift, Playboi Carti, The Weeknd etc are like the biggest stars in the world right now. You can't be serious.
>>131728168Just opened my music library. I'm redownloading everything in Flac. You be the judge.
>>131728170>industry plants who have zero cultural impactThey're schizos shouting at a wall at this point.
>>131728175Yeah see you're not even listening to the music. Fucking poser.
>>131728176>Kendrick Lamar>Playboi Carti>Zero cultural impactYou can't be fucking serious
>>131728192I am dead serious. Irrelevant schizoids liked by no one who has the competence and power to affect the world.
>>131728189I have it there and I listen to it everyday. 0/10 ragebait.
>>131728201
>>131728202Yeah and your taste is shit. It's like a computer program written by industry shills trying to figure out what hipsters are like.
>>131728163>MillenniggerI'm a zoomersharter but at least I have self awareness of how hollow and untalented my generation is.
>>131728219By what metrics? Hipsters aren't listening to Swedish Hardcore, Tay-K, Syst7m and Stomach Book
>>131728225Where am I saying that we aren't struggling? Where am I saying that we are the best at anything. I adapted.
>>131728213LmfaoObama's entire political legacy is overturned. Still irrelevant.
>>131728230The amount of cock in your mouth. That's the crux of it. You don't like music. You just have this personality trait ehere if you admire a lifestyle you begin sucking off.
>>131728249I listen to that music because I love it. God fucking dammit dude.
>>131728241Still doesn't overturn Kendrick Lamar's legacy
>>131728251You don't. You just want people to think you're a keen cultural arbiter.
>>131728259Yeah it does. They were placed by the same exact social engineers. Not even internece similarities. I'm talking same individuals. They're artifacts of the same failed dumb sociopolitical project.
>>131728260Yes I actually like the music I listen to. I have a history of arrogance but I keep the music because I like it.
>>131728277If you were convinced of that why do you need to convince me?
>>131728239>I adaptedSo you lowered your standards? Wow...
>>131728296You are gaslighting me. I literally told you. I like the music. You kept pushing. >>131728309I got used to the trap beat and the autotune. It felt alien to me.
>>131728321No one listens to rap because they like the way it sounds. You're gaslighting yourself.
>>131728335I like rap because of the way it sounds Fuck off
>>131728351Nah you really don't. You just think having it on makes you look cool and culturally attuned.
>>131728443See this is where you are getting it wrong. That came in with the I'm not like the hipsters on this board bullshit but I actually do like rap music.
>>131728449You don't. You're not that guy but I'm really unsure why you want to be.
the perception of gen Z as having no good music is because of the death of monoculture. they have a lot of extremely good underground music, even if it is often derivative. but still better than 99% of millennial music which feels overly corporate
>>131728462I have been hearing this horseshit about how romantic and great the underground music scene is for 25 years. Indie music has the same exact problems as mainstream music; formatted template based shit that can only consider song form and the music itself ultimately being just an advertisement for the performer's personality which is the primary medium.What ends up happening is social climber types who got rejected by the mainstream start their own walled garden they can enforce the same gulag rules in.It offers no meaningful alternative.
>>131728462Not true AT ALL, I check underground (very few ratings) releases a lot, there was a huge decline in quality, noticeable by the mid 2010s. It will depend on your music taste (if you like electropop/rage, the 2020s are good) but all my favorite genres mostly died out in the last decade, even underground artists only release bland pastiches, forget "groundbreaking" they can barely make anything decent anymore, any year of the 00s beats the whole 2020-2026 span. There is a big dearth of good music, gen z artists are unskilled/untalented and seem unable to even copy the past in a satisfactory manner.
>>131728532A lot of it wasn't their fault. Boomers are really and I mean REALLY about idol worship so they taught mid tier blues shit as this magical inpenetrable thing.The problem with Gen Z is they side with boomers against millennials every time they're on the point.
>>131728462>but still better than 99% of millennial music which feels overly corporateMillennials had a better underground scene overall. If you take their contribution to the 2000s and the early 2010s into consideration.>>131728532The 2010s was full of the same thing though. It didn't start with our generation and you could take it all the way back to some Gen X artists in the 2000s with the Post-Punk revival and Garage Rock revival imo.
>>131728532I'm mostly into emo and electropop and listen to a little indie, so I'm very happy with the underground artists that have been coming out lately. if you're into that kinda stuff then check out train breaks down, first day back, aspartame, stella, the ritornello form, and AEIOU. the scene is small but it's thriving
I'm not gonna put generations into this but I think we could all agree it started going to shit in the mid 2010s once Scene starting died off and Soundcloud rap replaced rock music.
>>131728601Yep. 2015 was the last hurrah for postwar boomer derived music culture.
>>131728591could you name some artists from the millennial scene? perhaps I'm ignorant but apart from gems like crystal castles my impression of millennial music is slop like my chemical romance, paramore, fall out boy, and bring me the horizon
>>131725200>Gen X has Alice In ChainsIt's Nirvana. I like AIC better too but don't pretend it's not Nirvana. And millenials' is My Chemical Romance.
>>131725200The real answer is that there are plenty of good gen z music talents it's just impossible to find them because this is the first generation in which music isn't platformed by agencies, talk shows, radio etc because of splintered attention from the fall of a central attention stage (Television, newspapers) who gives a shit enough to check out a bandcamp or youtube with less than 30 views. we're all in different worlds stuck in an algorithm designed for our specific interest and that doesn't align with growth which previous generations had along with wealth and connections >inb4 cope
>>131727920>just accept change always because muh heckin evolution>its impossible for change to ever be bad
>>131728657/thread
>>131728657exactly. people will seethe but the only reason they think gen Z music sucks is because they won't put in the effort to find the good stuff.
>>131728675>>131728673>>131728657>muh undegroundThis is a bad answer.
>>131725200Haunted Mound
>>131728693elaborate
>>131728696sematary fucking sucks. stinky monster-drinking cookie monster pajamas trailer trash music
>>131728711The best case scenario is you use your niche popularity as a portfolio to get picked up by the majors anyway. Most likely thing is you take a $20k bath to sleep in parking lots and play at some dweeb's house in Lancaster and coast to coast drug addict promoters go home with 100% of the profits.It's a train of thought to nowhere.
>>131728737and the better alternative is selling out to producers who will own your soul for as long as you make music? be completely beholden to every whim of your jewish corporate overlords? fucking lmao, what a pathetic way of thinking. kill yourself
>>13172864August Burns RedNailsShinsei KamattechanMidoriThe Blood Brothers The Fall Of TroyMerchant ShipsLook into the 2000s more deeply>>131728660The change is fucking dogshit. I'm not gonna deny it. I'm just saying if you want to find these artists you are gonna have to adapt until a radical shift happens.>>131728675I think it's a 50/50 to be honest.>>131728696Please stop
>>131728799There is no underground operating independently from that. Every show and I mean EVERY show has some kind of handler who has connections with the industry in the back not to discover artists but to make sure everything is kosher if you will.You're the one being a good goy right now.
>>131725207>foo fighters>>131725578>Yungblud
>>131728804I'm familiar with the fall of troy and merchant ships. the fall of troy is alright but their music has that over-polished pop punky third wave emo sound which sounds terrible to me. merchant ships is a fantastic band and has similar qualities to some of the bands that are coming out now, especially train breaks down>>131728823there is, most of these artists are completely DIY. they release music on bandcamp and perform at independent venues and house shows
>>131728799Herb Alpert was an honorary goy and indie as fuck, what's wrong with corporationshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=20zdNgs7dJ4
>>131728922I've known a lot of people who think the way you do and I had a whole post written out but it's a waste of effort. I'm just telling you now your hopes are going to be dashed in the worst possible way.
