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.

This can't be true, because Dizzy's new theme came out like a month ago.

This is a perfect thread to ask recommendations. Particularly death/thrash metal or old school type beat hip hop. Y'all got any?

I don't know metal genre umbrellas like I used to but Ice-T got a shockingly based act in Body Count rn

Thrash metal? "Infest the Rat's Nest" by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Dont wanna spoil it but its a space opera about climate change and killing billionares and shit.

Omnium Gatherum album by King Gizzard has a few old school hip hop type beats.

On the death/thrash front, have you stumbled across Crypta and/or Nervosa yet? Same label, and a couple of the same members; Crypta is an 80's/90's death metal throwback with more modern production techniques, and Nervosa is more thrash-oriented.

It's a completely ridiculous idea to think that worsening material conditions won't lead to worse art, or that the logic of the market (especially in our age of algorithms and market research ) prioritizing profit over everything else won't harm art either.

Music is undeniably getting worse.
