i agree to an extent here? music has gotten worse, or at least stagnated: but only rock and its many, many subgenres. id say, as a whole: rap and electronic are definitely like at their peak at least in terms of innovation, sampling techniques, etc or will be at some point soon, in the next decade or so.

i mean dont get me wrong theres still some good rock out there but its certainly less common........actually fuck me i tried so hard to think of a "modern" rock band just now (as in founded no earlier than a decade or so ago) and all i could think of that wasnt a meme or just fuckin overall mediocre at best, was car seat headrest
