Good. The latest is not necessarily the best, and there is plenty of lost treasure just waiting to be found.
- cubefox 3y agoOnly you will consider it a treasure. Other people will not care. Everyone will have their own personal favorites, at which point they can't even be called treasures.

- cubefox 3y agoFamous songs have been very important culturally. They provide some common ground, a shared experience, something which creates a sense of community. This may go away with AI, and arguably already has, to some extent, due to individualized streaming.
- HKH2 3y agoYes, that dictatorial approach to music has already begun to disappear. Our appreciation for music will not disappear. It is time for democratised music.
