This is as wrong as a take ever has been. More novel, vibrant, gorgeous, complex and engaging music is being produced today than at any time in history.

Banal, commercial pop music was inescapable throughout all decades of the last century. The classics of bygone eras are remembered in finite lists only as the uncountable middling efforts of thousands of shit acts fade from view. This is true of all art and media.

If you want to find current music that speaks to you, put in the effort. I mean that in an encouraging sense really, and don't want to dismiss your post out of hand.

In | that | spirit | of | encouragement | and | discovery | here | are | 31 | releases | from | the | last | decade | covering | a | wide | range | of | genres | many | of | which | have | enjoyed | critical | acclaim | and | commercial | success.

Big crowd of 10,000 people, huge Palestinian flags waving, thumping techno with arabic samples.

It was directly after this perfect house and disco set:

Very nice; approaching the upper limit of ~20,000km

Would be fun if they included the moon and a rough valuation of all returned lunar samples
