Someone has to work at McDonald’s I suppose, and it’s not going to be Timmy from the Hampton's.

      The gap in how music evolved between 2001-2021, compared to 1981-2001 is just massive.

      I think Mark Fisher was really onto something with the death of social democracy and the death of music (at least in the U.K.). All the music resources that were accessible to me for free as a kid in my hometown don’t exist anymore. It’s grim. I also think that the internet has had a part to play in the decline in innovation too.

      A friend of mine I used to play in bands with made it in a metal band that got big. That band has done podcasts where they talk about the importance of passive income, and how you shouldn’t form bands with your friends. You see, there’s a much better marketplace for finding talented musicians online. Christ metal sucks now.
