>Artist comes around to redefine a genre, basically by being a quirky, thoughtful white guy
>Shows the industry that its acting too seriously, and is rewarded with lots of critical acclaim
>Meanwhile hackney'd shits with no cultural knowledge whatsoever ignore everything that came before it, putting it on an unbeatable pedestal, claiming that it's simply the best of its genre, and nothing else is that good. "I don't like x, but THEY'RE pretty good!"
>Basically falling in love with the quirkiness of the personality instead of the heart of the music, because if they really loved it, they'd listen to their contemporaries
>Derivative of a genre primarily listened by people who would take serious convincing to listen to this hipster white trash
>So in come the wave of hipster white trash fans
>fast forward XX years and they've influenced an entire wave of music fans with no respect for music history, all because their love for music is based on this one artist who, aside from being quirky and influenced by black people music, isn't doing THAT much differently from their peers
>Music is easier than ever to preserve, and despite this, music listeners are more closed minded than ever, listening to the same shit on repeat until they die
