you complain about execs today being worried about public opinion but that has existed throughout time (elvis, NWA, queen, etc). if anything things are better today
your post rides on the premise that all of our culture is top-down, ie it comes from record labels/producers/media execs. i reject this. I guess you consider the monolithic aesthetic of Chicago Mad Men to be peak culture
this is written like a boomer. I get that people are pissed because of Netflix being shitlib, and hollywood selling out to the Chinese, but you complete ignore mediums like twitch, YouTube, and Spotify, which make it easier-than-ever to find new artists

Your entire premise is: There were much less options back then, but they were better funded and had bigger influence because of this.
And yes, I would trade anything Led Zeppelin for another original Blink 182 album. And travis barker and the dude from MCR are better.
Are you going to argue that Avatar and Dark Knight had no cultural influence, or just that they suck?
It's just funny to me that you say my music is worse because I can stream anything I want instead of listening to the same 40-songs on the radio. But those radio artists were soooo much better!

Our culture of viewing everything through the lens of race first has spread to almost all western countries to some extent. It's spread to countries that are still 90% white and have never really had race problems. It's even supplanted some of their own grievances (race is taking the place of class and religion, how lines were drawn in the UK and on the continent for 6 centuries). |

Date: October 21st, 2020 9:39 PM Author: Metal ticket booth azn As with most things related to our civilizational collapse, social media and rapid communication is largely to blame. Think of the way culture develops - there needs to be relative isolation so weird little groups can sprout up independently. On a macro level, different language and cultures only exist due to isolation thousands of years ago. On a smaller level, think of 90s music for example - you had grunge, ska, big band, folk revival, jam bands, punk - there was room to be weird and independent, and that makes for a great overall national culture.
Let's mark the real take off of social media at 2004 with facebook. With social media and the advancements in communication (cell phones and email, 24/7 news) society became too interconnected to develop anything unique and weird. Its attention span also became too short, and it became a liability to be different. Uniqueness, Craftsmanship, were replaced by a blur of shouting and twerking, for thirty seconds each, to achieve mass consumption.
