I hate the Melvins. Buzz is fucking annoying as a person, and as a songwriter, every album they've ever put out is composed of 1, maybe 2 good songs and the rest filler. Their newer stuff is just butt rock.

    Architecture has historically been a big influence on the sorts of sounds which are popular. A lot of music nowadays is specifically produced to come out of phones and have a flashy hook (TikTok musicians) or over the radio in a noisy area (stores or cars). Jazz clubs had acoustics that allow you to hear faster and more complicated lines without them all blurring together. A lot of rock in the 80’s was really simple and made to be heard in an arena. A lot of modern metal is basically designed to be blasted through headphones. Have you ever heard techdeath out of a shitty phone speaker from across the room? It’s just a mess of noise
