Wow, this entire thinkpiece is frankly incredibly annoying to me. Vast amounts of staggering, amazing music are being made. The issues which he is describing are rather just a loss of a "universal" major label music culture. We've got artists revolutionizing their own respective niches, this all just happens in complete disconnect from major label music, and from the general mainstream. The fact that he goes through the entire article without even bringing up examples of modern artists which impressed or didn't impress him is weak. No mention of the windmill scene (eg. black midi and black country, new roads)? No mention of King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard, who gained some amount of fame for releasing five (5!) really solid albums in a single year? No mention of Death Grips, who revolutionized modern hip hop music? These are all names which should be familiar if you're paying attention. Instead he brings up Drake (and Kendrick, to be fair) as an example of "artists setting the bar incredibly high" and "setting new trends for new generations". Either way, I'd hate to have this guy on my party.
