The ideas and implications of greater access to music, and a lower barrier to creation IMO are interesting.
Though, "worse" is utterly subjective. There is no way to rationally consider the sentiment until it is quantified in _some_ way. It would be interesting I believe for that to be attempted, at which time we could evaluate the point based on a proposed set of metrics that demonstrate "the music is worse." Then we might consider why.
- intalentive 2y agoThere have been multiple studies that show music has gotten less complex — lyrically, harmonically, timbrally.
- AlbertCory 2y agoUnfortunately, aesthetics are not objective, and ""worse is utterly subjective" is not a criticism. There are no metrics that do any more than support an argument; they can't "prove" it.
