     @DW2 It's also because they want to maximize profits by dumbing music down to the lowest common denominator.

     @DW2 I have a theory that there’s a kind of shift in pop music, too, where people’s active listening strays into more niche interests with the rise of ipods/earbuds.

     Now, top-40 swill is meant to be somewhat unremarkable because it’s designed to be background noise, something piped over loudspeakers in public to provide sound cover and make things feel populated and upbeat.

     @WashedOutGundamPilot While we’re on the topic, i vaguely recall some YouTuber (Rick Beato maybe?) going over the top downloads/listens from some website, and commenting how all the top songs were like 30-40 years old or older.
     
     We’re truly in a dead century

     @DW2 @WashedOutGundamPilot that's because for the last 3 decades kikes only promote nigger music, to find something actually appealing that would be played on the radio, you have to go back that far

     @grey @WashedOutGundamPilot I wish I could like this twice. Rock was definitely murdered, that’s for sure

     @DW2 See that plays into my theory though. The people still using traditional media apparatuses that add into view counting for nielsen metrics are boomers - and they only like music they listened to when their endocrine system allowed them to feel the rush of youth

     Everyone I see on the cool side uses stuff like soundcloud or youtube, while the normies use stream apps like itunes or spotify. The latter count their own metrics, most likely, and from what I remember apple just gives a cheesy heat graph to show relative popularity, not actual numbers

     @WashedOutGundamPilot Here’s an article last year from the Atlantic on this issue. Even when you account for streaming old song seem to dominate

     And here I was thinking I was stuck in the past for taking my radio with me whenever I do work outside, set to the oldies station.
     
     Turns out, I was ahead of the curve the whole time!

     @okuu @DW2 This destruction of Western music isn't even acceptable to certain low common denominators among several demographics. This goes beyond mere profit seeking.

     @grey @DW2 @WashedOutGundamPilot idk i think it should be seen as a good thing - that there’s still demand and mass appeal in the older, higher quality, music. not the degeneration itself, ofc. In recent years there’s a huge resurgence in appreciation for the american-inspired JPOP / City Pop (and other japanese music) from the 70s and 80s. Just look at Mariya Takeuchi’s Plastic Love, Miki Matsubara’s Stay With Me, (i recommend looking at the youtube recommendations below these particular videos for a great musical rabbit hole to go down) tens of millions of views decades after the song’s release - music which is definitevely more complex than modern slop

     @merchantHelios @grey @DW2 @WashedOutGundamPilot Ride on Time
     My shyness boy
     16709 Telephone, aka the awoo song
     
     And it's quite funny that those songs on YouTube had 80s anime on it as well
     
     People instinctively looking for a better era and I think it's why Sony and YouTube were eager to shut it down
