>Do these things make better art, or just better sell mediocre art? It's downstream effect. Who did Kurt Kobain grow up listening to? Chili peppers? Who did Dolly Parton learn from and idolize? I bet they were on polished albums and tours and on the radio. You had to be pretty good to have money invested into you then. Who did the great Jazz artists listen to? Black records were absolutely a thing, and they weren't glued to their phones, they were in clubs and on streets. Country was far more from campfires after a long day because it didn't make sense to try and ride back home, now you GPS tag the cattle and take the four wheelers out, be back in an hour no one is sitting around. Some kid in Seattle is probably out there with a lot of talent and a lot to say... With no one great of his generation to learn from. Just a higher quantity of blah music than at any point in history. It's culture. We've killed our shared music experience ironically by connecting everyone and everything. I'm done with this topic for the most part... For my final point.... trap and drill exist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJq7yjDT9Qw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJq7yjDT9Qw You point out ANY musical theory in this, then go listen to Illmatic (one love)
