I was sitting in a cab the other day with the radio on, some pop song playing. To me it was an 80s drum beat with a 90s style ballad laid over the top.
I lived through the rise of Grunge, EDM, Rap, Hip Hop, etc. and recent music just seems to be mish-mashes of all existing styles rather than anything new.
It just feels like there's been no new style of music for 20 years. Last vaguely new style I remember hearing is
dark cabaret.
- sirspacey 9y agoCheck out the early albums of Tycho and alt-J on Spotify with related artists.
- mattmanser 9y agoTycho is EDM and alt-j is indie rock. Not sure why you think alt-j is a new genre, listen to metric, London Grammar, the XX, arcade fire, etc. from a decade ago. It's just a slight variation on existing indie rock. It's good, but it's not a whole new genre.
