- Most of us experience peak music consumption ages 10-25. Everything we like after that is nostalgia or new music that sounds like the music of our heyday
- pods directly compete with music as background media
- Rock, Hip-Hop, Metal, Indie have aging GOATs less innovation
Is it just me or does music not hit as hard anymore? Used to be such a snob with my playlists and took immense pride in being ultra tapped in. Think this started changing around 2023 ish and now my Spotify minutes continue trending towards all time lows
Idk just feel like most stuff hasn't been that unique or exciting for a while relative to say late 2010's / early 2020's across all genres. Or maybe I'm wrong and there's some greater spiritual shift at play causing me to put more of a premium on silence
