You’re probably just reading / listening to the wrong stuff.
Go sit through a dozen escape artist podcast episodes, and find a top metal band in whatever subgenre you’re complaining about.
(Eg: swing/disco -> Diablo Swing Orchestra, classical/electronic -> igorrr, folk -> finntroll/faun, pop->poppy’s “I disagree”, musicals -> amaranthe, rock -> sumo cyco, variety -> babymetal, middle eastern -> bloodywood, etc.)
- borroka 1y agoThe comment is fairly condescending, and I don't think it is up to the standards of HN. Of course, you may like whatever you want, but if you compare Pink Floyd and Zeppelin to the current landscape, I don't think we find an equivalent quality and vision today. And not because current musicians (outside the playback- and autotune-heavy artists of today) are bad, but because of the hanging fruit I was referring to. Movies today? Books? I am not finding great quality, but it is possible that, compared to others, I have a more refined palate.
