Is it me or does most mainstream music fucking suck now?

It's always kinda been like this. It's going to get worse though when 'Lofi beats to study / relax to' music ~~starts~~ continues taking over. Not to be like dramatic or conspiratorial or anything, obviously this is just the cheapest and most profitable way to create and distribute music. Spotify and other music platforms already try to define playlists by the-thing-you're-doing-while-the-music-is-playing, so studying, or working out, or cooking, 'vibing', or whatever whatever. There are essentially background music companies that completely obscure the creator of the music and the listener. It's easy to see with lofi beats because basically nobody recognizes the songs or the names of the artists. If you actually tried to look up the artist to see if they were gonna play in your city or whatever, it's just gonna be an impossible map of links that lead between highly CSS'd webpages streaming the same spotify, soundcloud, or youtube links.
