Everyone who doesn’t think music isn’t getting worse should post examples of recent good music they like. As a lot of people who claim this often like generic shitty music.
IMO metal has gotten much better. For example, I think bands like Serpent Column and Blood Incantation are doing amazing things for black metal and death metal respectively.
I feel similarly with Hip Hop. But I admit both genres are oversaturated with bad music.
I’m pretty sure Rick Beato only listens to shitty music.
He sounds exactly like the dude who taught me guitar. He’d balk at any modern (at the time, which was the 90s so Alice In Chains, Nirvana, Soundgarden, etc) when I’d ask to learn their tracks saying I should only spend time learning the “classics” which to him meant the Beatles, Hendrix, and the like. Not saying those aren’t classics, but I’d consider the grunge era to have a lot of classics as well. Seems like Rick is “stuck” in the same era and unwilling to budge.
