Since internet I listened to all new music from the 20th century. A lot of "old music" from foregone age was new to me. So new music is a relative term. However, and that is my personal opinion, most new music from 2000-2020 I think is total utter crap, I rather listen to something from 1914 with horrible sound quality than something from 2014.

> most new music from 2000-2020 I think is total utter crap Oooh here we go. What music have you listened to? Popular music or the very long tail of new artists and bands that are now able to produce and release good music from their home without the big publishers (although spotify, soundcloud, apple music etc are now the big publishers). Because I personally disagree. I'm more into metal myself and I dig a lot of the stuff that came out after 2000. New genres and subgenres have popped up or come into their strength (folk, djent, synthwave, etc). I'm listening to a varied playlist right now of skillful musicianship, most of which from after 2010: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2h4EoZIoRbUAJnHlHE1eHM?si=Uwds1kRBTO-jkBxrgK0NDw https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2h4EoZIoRbUAJnHlHE1eHM?si=... Anyway I object to a statement "this is utter crap"; you're presenting your personal opinion as a hard fact which is a big part of everything that is wrong today.

That is how you interpret my personal opinion, I never said if things are wrong today, I just stated that today's new music is utter crap in my opinion. There is a lot of good music played by nowadays musicians. I have no problem with you disagreeing with my personal opinion, but I do have a problem with you telling that I imply other things than I am telling. >"this is utter crap", I never said that, there is a difference between "I think" and "This is", Don't twist my words, you are being dishonest in this conversation for doing that.

> most new music from 2000-2020 is utter crap This statement is easy to react to and argue against. I almost did. But it’s true. The same is true for music from 1900-1920, or any era. The difference is we have a record of all that “utter crap” now, and it’s ever present. If you want to find some old music that is crap, go to a consignment store and pick out some random $0.50 records. You can’t find baroque “utter crap” because who would bother to hand-copy the music notation for music of that quality? Also, time will filter out the great works. Digging for new music can help keep stuff alive that deserves to stand the test of time. It just takes more work than some people want to do, which is fine. Keep digging up cool computer science topics, so I can go to hacker news rather than sift through all the “utter crap” out there.
