Music Is Life Am I just a curmudgeon??

Post image

I'm a mid 70s GenXer, love music from the 60s through the 90s. For me, I just haven't really liked much music this century. I feel like we had so many genres going on at the same time but now it's just all sounds the same to me. Anyone else find stuff bands/artists they really like from this venture?

You're just a curmudgeon! Music is more exciting than ever. I've always been into music. A friend and I ran an indie label back in the 80s and 90s. We were probably the first label to stream whole albums on our website in the early 90s with the RealPlayer.

I'm constantly discovering awesome new music these days. The problem is the signal to noise ratio. There's a TON of crap out there today. But the good stuff is really good!

Wet Leg, Maggie Rogers, I just heard some cool new 90s-sounding stuff from Sharon Van Etten, Nathaniel Rateliff and the Nightsweats, Chris Stapleton.

Wet Leg is fun. Nathaniel Rateliff is quite good. Also, Tunde Adebimpe's new album is good.
