New music?

[RCMerchant]

Do you think there is any GOOD new music being put out lately? Myself-no. Don't get me wrong- I listen to a large range of music, from rock, metal, punk, jazz, pop, hip hop, even some country- but lately seems to me most new music, well,...SUCKS.



Mebbe I'm just getting old.

Yer getting old. I am listening to a new album every day. Keeps me young and I find lots of great new stuff.

This year: Rosali, "Bite Down" (singer songwriter); Ariel Kalma, Jeremiah Chiu & Marta Sofia Honer, "The Closest Thing to Silence" (avant-garde); Kelly Moran, "Moves in the Field" (acoustic piano); Bill Frisell, "Orchestras" (jazz, probably will be my album of the year), Vera Sola, "Peacemaker" (singer songwriter); Tapir, "My God" (folk rock); Meshell Ndegeocello, "Red Hot & Ra : The Magic City" (avabnt-garde jazz)); Chelea Wolfe, "She Reaches Out To She Reaches Out To She" (trio hop), Charles Lloyd, "The Sky Will Still Be There Tomorrow" (jazz); Julain Lage, "Speak to Me" (jazz). I don't gravitate to rock music that much (especially hard rock) but I've even heard some of that stuff I like this year.

Part of the problem nowadays is its so easy to produce music there's a glut on the market and you can't sift through it without a gatekeeper. Radio used to do that.

Look some of those up or ask me for a specific recommendation. You might like this one: https://youtu.be/xIJoRDCRcQ8?si=z4q-nXpQk0aNtBRB

There's one or two new country artists that aren't too bad, but I really don't go out of my way to catch the latest thing.....
There was some pop star who put out a song protesting the overturning of Roe vs Wade that I thought was pretty good, but she was heavy on the Auto tune...
Every time I hear auto tune, I think of that song "Funky Town"..... It's like, auto tune is way too '70s for me...

Sometimes I'll catch something "new to me" while listening to right wing talk show host Dana Loesch, but it's usually '80s goth or '90s grunge; basically punk pop.....

I am also getting old as the music I loved as a child in the 60s - 80s is still better than the 💩 of today.

Every few years I decide to go listen to new stuff and pick up some more modern bands that I like. Its gotten me into bands like The Pretty Reckless, Poppy, Avatar and Ward XVI. I just go exploring on Youtube, see what I can find.

I regularly update my play lists on YouTube with new music. I'm not a teen anymore, so I don't seek out rebellious loud music.

I like it smooth and mellow, and stuff that incorporates rock, depending on my mood. I usually check Billboard adult contemporary charts. They have all the popular new tunes aimed for "adult ears."

Yup, I'm getting old. I still listen to the Melvins and Led Zeppilin.

Music affects people in their teens and twenties more powerfully. As you age, you get jaded; nothing's new and surprising anymore, you've heard it all somewhere before.
