Oh my fucking god I just wanted to say how otherworldly bad music is right now (pop has always been stupid to varying levels but oh my fucking god they have raised the stakes). I just listened to a bunch of pop tracks from various genres and I literally think I'm about to die. Rock, country, indie, folk, hipster white rap, whatever you call home, is aggressively bad. It's like Walmart made a gun that can shoot cum and blood and piss and shit and puke into your soul. We are so fucking fucked. I want to saw my own head off.

Man some of the takes in this thread got me feelin like it's two types of people: people who claim they 'listen to a little bit of everything' when that 'little bit of everything' is 31 radio-approved, Top-40 flavors of Post Malone, Aubrey Graham, Taylor Swift, and Billie Eilish; and people who actually go looking for and listen to acts that aren't either white or gentrified

That and that one oldhead who apparently hasn't engaged with music since they were still pressin vinyls; man, don't you have 8-track tapes to be wheeling back up? Be kind, rewind headass i-cant

White people can make good music on occassion, at least earworms.

True! I do at least try to carve out spaces for the likes of John Darnielle, Aesop Rock, RA the Rugged Man, etc.-- it does happen; I'm just using 'white or gentrified' as shorthand for 'watered down content for a stolen, watered down genre' rly
