    Every generation thinks the music of the last generation is horrible. This gives real “You kids get off my lawn” vibes.

      Yeah, I think it’s a form of the survivorship bias. Not too long ago, based on a discord voice conversation, I listened to the top 100 songs from 1977. One of the top 100 was Ariel by Dean Friedman. If you think that’s a great song, you’re higher than he was when he recorded it.

      he makes interesting point about ease of making music today - ie download a DAW and a few drum sample packs and midi in a quantized guitar riff and autotune some vocals. there are way more songs being made available today so more than ever talented musicians hell yes …but also coz of this tech ‘easy route’ a lot of people who are maybe just popular kids but havent spent years learning their instrument or songwriting who get to the top of the charts not because their music is particularly fresh or inspiring. agree with vibe of your comment tho that we can be more affirmative and ‘yes and’ eachother he just wants clicks, i like rick

    I watched Hi Ren and man do I love that song and his music… it feels good as a 48 year old to call up a mate and say “dude you need to check this guys out”!

    Every generation there is good music and shit music… just keep looking and share the good stuff

    I kind of agree with TAETRO on most of the points he’s raising in his reaction video. Beato does not deliver any hard facts, and his main point being the word Music searched less on Google is downright stupid. https://youtu.be/O6cklqtTW20&t=0

    Although one major thing he missed (maybe intentionally as he’s also part of the YouTube machine) is that controversial videos give you the views and the money in the end of the day.
