"Old songs now represent 70 percent of the U.S. music market. Even worse: The new-music market is actually shrinking."

    Here's a bunch of brilliant albums that came out only last year (I can do only rock music if you'd prefer as well)

    Black Midi - Cavalcade

    Black Country, New Road - For the First Time

    Spellling - The Turning Wheel

    Little Simz - Sometimes I Might Be Introvert

    Armand Hammer & The Alchemist - Haram

    Floating Points and Pharaoh Sanders - Promises

    Erika de Casier - Sensational

    Lingua Ignota - Sinner Get Ready

    There's genuinely brilliant music coming out every year. The problem is of course that music streaming platforms, the same as video ones like Netflix, both push endless amounts of crap down peoples throats and their convenience and algorithms mean people seek out the stuff they're know and comfortable with.
