What new music? Everything is hip-hop, rap, or r&b nowadays.
I just can't turn on the “new songs” radio station in Apple Music because 90% will be hip-hop & rap.
I imagine how modern music producers are fed up by an endless stream of demo records from ‘new hip-hop stars’ - my condolences.
If streaming services will add the button “Do not propose music of this genre”, then new music will be more discoverable. But right now the only two things I saw in Spotify and Apple Music are “I like this genre” and “I love/hate this song”.
I hope it will become a killer feature of some new startup.
- themadturk 5y agoI was hesitant to chime in here, because I'm in my mid-60s, which puts me solidly in the boomer generation that grew up with classic rock. But I have to agree with this. I have some faves in the realm of "old" music, but also like a lot of current/newer musicians, a few of whom are R&B but none of whom are rap/hip-hop. It's just not something I enjoy, and I agree that too many new songs radio stations are full of it. Looking for new music doesn't occupy much of my time, so my tolerance for the choice presented to me is fairly low.
