Rock, country, indie, folk, hipster white rap, whatever you call home, is aggressively bad
So, did you want to say rap here but realize it could come off wrong, so you said white rap instead? OR did you not realize you can listen to nonwhite rappers? Because it's got to be one of those, right?
Music has never been better. There's so much out there. If you're intentionally poisoning yourself with things you don't like like, that's sort of on you.
Lol you're wrong
I'll go one further, mainstream pop and the top streamed music right now - literally the most mainstream of the mainstream - goes hard. looking at Spotify top charts for the week, I'm seeing BIRDS OF A FEATHER by Billie Eilish and Taste by Sabrina Carpenter, which are two very good high-production mainstream pop songs. better than I ever remember pop being in the rest of my life. brat came out this summer. Tyler the Creator just dropped CHROMAKOPIA. and slightly off mainstream but still very popular were Camila Cabello, Remi Wolf, Magdalena Bay, honestly this is like the best I imagine pop music has been in decades. what's the issue?
I've been listening to a lot of good music this year, no idea what you're going on about.
I'll just leave this thread open and trawl through it later to get all the juicy reccs ty to everyone in advance 
Every single generation has reached the age where they say "music was better in my day" and they're always wrong.
Chappel Roan is the best thing to happen to pop music since ABBA
Man I'm still mourning SOPHIE
Chappell Roan is the best thing to happen to pop music since ABBA
Good take. We need Chappell emotes.
If I hear "Pink Pony Club" one more time in a bar this year, I am going to go nuts. Nothing wrong with Chappell Roan, but dear Lord that song has been over played.
Don't listen to that crap then?
lol no? there's good music coming out all the time. you're just out of touch
I originally deleted this, but im restoring it so OP can see the replies and ask questions to hopefully find something they like.
Sorry yall, tired and grumpy
Thank u for recognizing that and restoring the post. It is inoffensive and does not violate the CoC, and mods using their permissions to dictate that the site can only be used as defined by the caprice of the mods is exactly why everyone has been pissed at mods recently.
Also, wow, the CoC is very well written and should be quoted and cited way more. We could have really saved a lot of struggle, both from users, mods, and admins, if everyone adhered to: if this site is not fun for you right now, log off and come back later.
Yeah don't delete this there is literally no reason to
Thank you for not over-moderating, it's always annoying to see popular threads get nuked.
The cure for this condition known as RBS (Rick Beato syndrome) is to let your playlist be dictated by the Transfem Soviet. Proletarian banjo music, modular generative ambient played by actual mushrooms and bouncy frenchcore remixes of lesbian singer-songwriter pop will heal your soul, turn you into a screaming opossum, or both. Anything else is counter-revolutionary and literally transphobic.
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.
Listen to literally anything but top 40 then? I have almost exclusively listened to whacky obscure shit on soundcloud for the past decade, thereβs so much creative and fun stuff dropping every single day. There are so many vibrant and unique scenes across the world, kinda wild to limit yourself to the most popular American stuff. You can absolutely find something you vibe with, just takes a modicum of effort to find things that arenβt heavily marketed and constantly shoved in your face. Donβt be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and drop any preconceptions of what music βshouldβ be and youβll have a much better time
This take sounds like someone who listens to video game soundtracks exclusively.
Just saying it's one of the takes of all time.
There's more music in the world than you can listen to in your lifetime.
https://youtu.be/itRWssMSuvw (fun and talented "pop" band)
https://youtu.be/KaNHvkeQ2wE (same people different day of the week)
https://youtu.be/ggE3OwlPIYc (just a good atmospheric black metal band with a PoC front man and it's just better than other black metal imo)
https://youtu.be/47XlUL6sRow (radio friendly jazz band and mercury award winners)
Try harder lmao, those are 4 random bands my bf showed me in the last month alone and none of them are basic/slop/mid/manufactured garbage. Just people venting themselves into sound and it's so good.
Stop being a grump
Shut up and listen to some Gizz. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=koQvZI4ewGg
Yeah, when King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is releasing new music, or when Godspeed you! Black Emperor has a new banger of an album calling attention to the genocide, you can't just say "there's no good music around"
When I see this I chuckle. You're your parents now. 'music was only good in my generation.'
Musics always been good and inventive if you look deep enough. They had king crimson, we had mars volta, and the kids have closures in Moscow. They had a tribe called quest, we had little brother, and the kids have Costa contra. Don't be stagnant.
