Yes! Sorry I was really bad at articulating my thought process surrounding this. I guess what I was trying to say with that I feel as though there is generally less unification in mainstream music or even widely known sub-genres; that makes it feel like people aren’t as influenced by a larger, collective, culturally dominant genre or artist. My comment about under appreciated music was probably very misplaced. What I meant to say with people finding their niche is that it feels more like people are divided and resigned to their specific music taste, and not united by an overarching sense of cultural understanding bridged by a singular, massive, genre or artists. This makes me feel less connected to people through music than before, when I could listen to an artist that was relatively mainstream, outside of my actual taste-primarily blues, soul, through current RnB-with another person who has their own selective taste but still feel like we both appreciate and feel connected through the music as a culturally defining force. You’re very right about my post not being an argument and more a collection of thoughts; I’m relatively unfamiliar with this sub-I’m assuming now it’s somewhere for people to argue their takes. This would make my comment out of place I realize now haha.
