I love music, I've been a life long musician, I have a degree in music history, and I worked for the largest record company in America for years, and I still play music every day. I know music.

But I watch the Grammys, and I have no idea who many of these people are, and when I hear their music, I wonder how they got to that level with such bland, boring music. Even the ones I recognize are awful. Sabrina Carpenter is cute as a button, and jumps around in her underwear a lot, which is a plus, because her music is unlistenable in an elevator/grocery store background music kind of way.

Where does anyone even hear this stuff? Why do they like it?

No wonder classic rock is getting so popular. It might be vintage, but it's still great music, and if you've never heard it before, it might as well be brand new.

It's because the only way to become a famous musician anymore is nepotism. You have to be born into a wealthy well connected family so you can get record contracts and actually have the time to hone your craft.

What you're seeing are industry plants; the hobby of trust fund kids.

Have you listened to gesaffelstein? His music might not be for everyone but I definitely wouldn't call it bland or boring

I listened to his stuff today in the car because of this post. He has like 2 bangers and a lot of good beats that get overused and super repetitive. It's on the edge of boring most of the time for me.
