And music too. I’m 52 and thought live music had been dying for decades…but the new breed is really into it, and is taking it to places i don’t even think i’ve seen before. The kids are alright.
New music? Angine de Poitrine just had a Smells Like Teen Spirit moment with their KEXP set, for starters. It has been a while since something real broke the mold like this. They are the real deal.
Sleep Token is also pretty special. They just can’t seem to write a bad song, and they’re legit musicians carving out something super unique.
They both have gimmicky visual surface level hooks…but, once you get beyond that, they’re both doing something really amazing musically, and they’re progressing the whole landscape of music right now.
Snarky Puppy/Jacob Collier are also redefining jazz at the moment, in case anyone hasn’t noticed.
Got any examples?
I mean, I saw NIN earlier this year and it was next level with how they incorporated Boys Noize into the set. But, I don’t think anyone from Gen Z was involved in the show… and there weren’t many in the crowd.
To be fair you were watching a guy that got big 30 years ago
The fun part is that keeping people focused on differences between the generations is part of the trick of divide and conquer.
Except boomers, but even then, there are plenty of chill boomers. It just so happens that many of the worst in power happen to be boomers. Correlation != causation.
To illustrate your point, look at Stephen Miller, pretty solidly millennial and undeniably lacking any form of morals with only toxic waste where his heart should be
Leadership tends to favour the older generation as they are perceived to have more of the required experience
Idk, I always like his band
Ugh. Fine. Have an updoot and fly like an eagle.
Holy shit, I haven’t thought about Boys Noize in like 15 years. Good to see they’re still going
They haven’t completely. Look at people like Skyebrows, they generate AI music. https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=lageQpKpI2c
Edit: you can downvote but this exists so obviously somebody is making it. So somebody embraced it. They’re all over the main platforms this is just an example of one
Look at people like Skyebrows
I would prefer not to look at them.
My comment is saying this shit exists dude. I’m not endorsing it. The comment I was replying to said gen z rejected it completely. This shows they did not.
Dunno why you’re getting downvoted, but yeah I read that as you bringing awareness and not endorsing it. Companies like Suno are definitely pushing AI-generated music tools, and I’m glad I see more people against it than for it.
For me, its the same new music argument that happens every ten years except this one definitely ain’t winning any awards. Is it good? Mostly not, you can immediately tell. Was the Elon’s Musk song funny? Yes, but only cause a human wrote the lyrics which is telling. I say if its not your tribe dont stick with it, at the end of the day its just more noise in the industry. Pierce the Veil just released a new album, and so did Skrillex, and this didnt stop them. That new age moment that always hits the headlines of complete takeover never happens. It definitely ain’t happenin’ with the generic music machine.
There will always be shitty music.
Thank you I feel seen
As there will always be good music.
There is no good time for AI slop to hit.
Maybe when we’re all in the chairs from wall-e? 😅
One of the weird things… If you let entertainment become AI, then eventually, maybe everybody will have some weird AI generating exactly the sort of entertainment they want. They’ll never feel any need to branch out or expand their horizons. Also, their entertainment will be different from anybody else’s, so who are they going to talk to about it? Another AI? What is this dystopia?
I’ve heard people say this exact thing positively… but yeah it sounds like a boring hell

This has already happened, just not in the way you’re thinking. For better or worse, television was a fairly limited and human curated experience where there wasn’t always something on that you instantly clicked with. Streaming services, whilst technically human curated at some level, have endless options that are recommended to you via an algorithm (a type of AI). It is extremely easy to sit in your own little AI curated bubble (e.g. true crime documentaries, mystery shows or romance K-Dramas) and never branch out.

I don’t see that that follows logically. Some people are content being entertained. Some people aren’t content unless they are creating.
Yes, I’m sure they much prefer Nolan’s analogue slop.
Cool, so Nolan has stopped making good movies and started spouting culture war crap.
Well, fortunately there are Gen Z filmmakers.
How is it culture war for a filmmaker to express an opinion on the tools of his craft?
It’s not like he’s giving you his take on a social or identity issue. This is specifically about how a new technology is changing his industry…?
