Today's music is mostly GARBAGE

[scho63]

Last night the Grammy Awards were on. I stopped watching award shows about 30 years ago for a variety of reason.

I saw some headlines this morning about the winners.

The Song of the Year is Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us"

This song is a piece of shit and how this garbage would be considered Song of the Year tells me that the music industry is another woke crap infested dump.

It is just another industry in decline.

What a joke.....

On the one hand it’s not curated anymore and you don’t have really good DJs finding music you’ll like. On the other hand it’s as easy as ever to listen to what you want and not what someone is forcing you to as it was during the radio days.

Tom Petty wrote a great song about this.

Yeah this is one of my biggest beefs with the way we consume media now. Algorythms make our world smaller. You have to make a huge effort to get out of that.
It was cited as one of the reasons festivals are tanking. Lots of young people only know one or two bands on the bill so they don't see the value. (also, they are expensive, and also stated they don't have a friend to go with, which is one of the saddest facts of all)

For me, especially considering the type of music I listen to, it's that the way music is consumed now, it's kind of killed the concept of albums. Everybody is streaming basically like the radio. It's all top 100 stuff, single after single. Kids don't listen to albums anymore and for me, I find that kind of sad. Because just about every album I buy, there's one or two tracks that are better than the song I heard that made me want to buy the album in the first place.

I think you have said this same saying about dying on hills 500 times this year alone.

Come up with some new material.

He has a very limited selection of regurgitated responses that aren't even his own words, that's for sure.

He's been working thru some trauma since November. Really limits your scope for quips and comebacks. It's been tough on a lot of folks.
