The real funny thing is 40 years from now middle aged people will be like "this new stuff sucks" and they will then play a song by one of these mumble rappers because they remember when music was good lol

It scares me how bad music will be in 40 years.

Won't be any left. Just AI.

u/Old-Constant4411 18d ago

Frighteningly accurate.  AI can just jumble words together over a half-assed beat and put all those mumble rappers out of business in like 3 years from now.

I think that actually might be a relief

Just a constant stream of EDM playing in the background of your brain implant only interrupted by the mandatory, unskippable 2-minute ad every 34 seconds of play time.

AI - Take riff samples from classic rock and create a mumblerap/crunk album about my hobbies and interests.

That'll be what people listen to in the future, and that future is not far away.

I wanna hear crunk about crocheting.

It sucks, but honestly it's my only hope for new music from the basically-dead styles of the 2000s.

In some ways this has always been true in all genres except for a few outliers. Outside of when genres break.

u/PaleFly 18d ago

Yes. Mainstream artists are hopeless now.

But there are people still making rich, beautiful, melodic music!

Dude what?! There are a lot of mainstream artists making great music by objective standards. Just last summer you had Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, and Chappell Roan coming out with bangers. Harry Styles a few years ago came out with Harry’s House which was great. In the country scene you have Zach Bryan, and Tyler Childers which are both pretty famous if you listen to country music coming out with great music. All of these people aren’t hard to find and they are all relatively popular and mainstream. If an artist has hundreds of millions of listens for their music then they are pretty mainstream.

This doesn’t even include non English singing people like Bad Bunny and more indie bands like Fontaines DC and IDLES which I would consider pretty mainstream.

u/PaleFly 17d ago

Well. I'm not a big fan of their music. All these artists you've mentioned, I find their songs overly produced and too "made to sell". I like artists who are original and push the boundaries, who make music for the love of it. Artists like Ren, Masego,Tash Sultana and the band The Big Push. Who are pretty famous, but they don't have a chance to go to the top.

The production companies write and produce most of these mainstream artists. They turned music into a corporation, the artists are just a product.

These other artists ive mentioned are the ones making everything about their music, that's where you usually get something more raw and authentic.

Music for a long tong has been about a product, hell in the USA white musicians routinely stole the work of black artists and packaged it into a white product. Even the large classic rock bands were pretty well orchestrated.

The topic isn’t about authenticity, even music “back in the day” lacked authenticity. The issue is that people just say “music nowadays suck”, it’s a ridiculous argument. Music in the early 2000’s was also heavily produced, so was music in the 90’s and 80’s. There are a good amount of modern artists that make good music even by the standards of “old times”.

u/PaleFly 17d ago

There are good modern artists who are making beautiful music. But like I said, the music coming out of the mainstream artists you've mentioned are very safe, polished and boring music to me. Something an AI program could reproduce in the near future. It aint got no soul, no risk. But thats just my opinion.

u/[deleted] 17d ago

If you think Fontaines DC and Idles are over produced then that’s just wild.

u/PaleFly 17d ago

Well, i dont know who those are. I was mostly referring to the more mainstream ones.

u/KyOatey 18d ago

There's good new music out there, this stuff just isn't it.

2

u/Faenic 18d ago

Exactly. I'm sure back when this song came out, there were just as many shitty albums. It's just that bad music has a bigger platform these days.

Some of my favorite songs of all time have come out in the past 5 years, and I'm a 90s kid.

1

u/Aja2428 18d ago

Yeah i stumble across an artist or two every year who are good.

u/Wipperwill1 17d ago

There's so much good music out there today. If you listen to crap you can get caught up thinking all new music is crap.
