why do people say that there's not innovative music anymore?

>>75200184
Either because it's easier to be cynical than accept that you're not special and attempt to live your life honestly in your genuine mediocrity, or it's easier to be a contrarian and free to feel both vindicated by the authority of popular arbitration but special for disagreeing and wielding your own authority against the collective.

We're overexposed to marvels and novelty, and we reject all new thought because we haven't either qualified it ourselves or because some authority figure has yet to have qualified it for us.

People are fucking stupid and are either ignorant of history or ignorant of their surroundings. The mode of contemporary music is innovation, as artists desperately search for something unique or original in the hopes of finding something "genuine". There are more genres of music, more instruments being played, more composition styles, more schools of thought on music now than have ever existed. More innovations have happened in the last 7 years of music than the previous 20, and more in the previous 20 than the 40 before that, and more in the 40 before than in hundreds of years before that. People just don't pay attention and say the first dumb shit that pops into their head without thinking about it first.

Pick an answer, none of them are 100% right and even if they were someone would tell you that you're wrong anyway.

Is this Grimes?

No one said that

good post, anon

They're lazy and don't listen to it, and when they do, they're cynical and say that it's not as innovative as they expect it to be.

>>75201215
Christ you're such a faggot.

>>75200184

Because they can't be bothered looking for it or they just listen to the radio and don't realise there's more to music than the top 40.

>>75201351
Maybe you're right about this. They just don't dig deep enough.

>>75201086
Good post

>>75200184
It's not that there isn't innovative music, more that it's been done and music is now a list of influences that fans should check out rather than original sounds worth seeking out and watching as they become influential

>>75201215
I have to call you a faggot again.
