> 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.
