No, I'm not saying all modern music is awful, but majority of the music that gets trending is terrible. Yet another girl that twerks for 3 minutes with a trap beat or some crappy awful rap song. Or Ariana Grande talking about another break up in the most boring cliché way possible. I guess since music is easier than ever to produce, now any clown can call themselves an artist.

Just keep in mind... The trending music in past decades was MJ, Madonna, Cindy Lauper, Cher, many, MANY decent to great rock bands and ballads. And I'm not forgetting the rap, rnb and hip hop, 2pac, salt n Peppa, en vogue, NWA, Biggie... There's an objective quality in these artist missing in majority of modern acts.

Hell, I would argue that decent artists from the 2010s like Taylor swift and Drake are getting lazy with their music as well, their songs being more focused on following those trending kids with awful music.

False. I want risk and evolution but not lack of effort and just clowns trying to become viral. Rihanna, for example, is one of the few modern artists that feels like a genuine REAL artist,I don't see compromises and see pure real talent.

Linkin park in 2010 had a very avant-garde album, again nothing old school but it's was real good music.

On the other hand, Greta van whatever did a mediocre Led Zeppelin wannabe album, old sound right, bait for old people. It was insincere.

you want risk and evolution? Independents it is then, because corpos hate taking risks, they like to play it safe by regurgitating old shit.

Same thing in the Videogames or hell any creative space.

And that's my point though. It wasn't like that before, not all the time anyways

so what's your plan then? Wallow in nostalgia or adapt and go indie?
