Oh my fucking god I just wanted to say how otherworldly bad music is right now (pop has always been stupid to varying levels but oh my fucking god they have raised the stakes). I just listened to a bunch of pop tracks from various genres and I literally think I'm about to die. Rock, country, indie, folk, hipster white rap, whatever you call home, is aggressively bad. It's like Walmart made a gun that can shoot cum and blood and piss and shit and puke into your soul. We are so fucking fucked. I want to saw my own head off.

      Yeah, when King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is releasing new music, or when Godspeed you! Black Emperor has a new banger of an album calling attention to the genocide, you can't just say "there's no good music around"

        if i tried to make the point that music is in a good vital place right now, i wouldn't use a decade old postrock band from the 90s or a psych rock revival band from the 2010s in my argument

          They both had releases in the last couple months, very different from what they have done before. I don't understand why the age of the act makes my argument that there's still good music being made and released right now any worse.

          There are younger acts with good music, too, and plenty of people have mentioned them in other threads.
