If you consider the top charting music and the typical fart noises uploaded to soundcloud which have 3 listens, yes it is worse.
If you're only considering your 25 favorite new songs out of tens of millions then sure, it's better. But also there is recency/novelty bias which counteracts and may overcome any past/nostalgia bias
In conclusion, if all you're doing is listening to music alone in your apartment then it's never been better. Until you step out into the real world and realize that, best-case scenario, everyone hates your music and everything that it represents. More likely they will be completely bored and indifferent.
- goosejuice 2y agoMusic only matters to the producer and the listener. It's deeply personal. I think you're missing the point.
- iraqmtpizza 2y agoThis sounds like a parody of Western individualism
- goosejuice 2y agoWhy exactly do you care if music you enjoy listening to is also enjoyed by others? If you enjoy it and the musicians are making it what else is there? Plenty of artists are just making art for themselves.
- iraqmtpizza 2y agoPlenty of people live in the woods. If we all lived in the woods everything would be fine! I'm sure our GDP wouldn't fall and no one would starve to death at all. Nope; Not a bit. Why don't we all just wear VR headsets all day? LOL enjoy your atomized Balkanized tower of Babel existence. If it has to be explained then you're consitutionally incapable of understanding it anyway.
- goosejuice 2y agoI think you're thinking way to hard about this my friend. What part of seeing a local band at a bar or listening to family members make music leads you to bring up GDP and VR? Either you're completely misunderstanding this discussion or you're extremely out of touch.
- iraqmtpizza 2y agoLOL the classic "if I play dumb long enough he'll call me dumb and get banned" You're disgusting. Either that or you actually spit on the very idea of community and shared culture in which case you are yet more disgusting and are my enemy.
- goosejuice 2y agoWhat gave you the idea that I'm not interested in community and shared culture? That's precisely what I'm promoting. My point was that it doesn't matter what's popular in the mainstream. This is no place for personal insults, so I'll call it here as this clearly isn't a genuine exchange.
- iraqmtpizza 2y agoWhat gave me the idea? >If you enjoy it and the musicians are making it what else is there? LOL. Also, a kiwi, a german, and an uzbek in a discord channel does not a community make. I'm talking about people playing banjo on their porch because that is what people do in their community and their region
- _DeadFred_ 2y agoThe world's been hating my music tastes and telling me to turn stuff off since the 1980s. And then, ten years later they love it, and 10 years after that my ex-is bragging how she used to listen to it decades ago. And definitely don't like things based on the real world, the real world is shit.
