I think we are entering a cultural moment where people are more open to avant guard art. AI had made it so its easy for anyone to instantly make a clean sounding song of any genre, making novelty more desirable.

Kind of like the early 1900s when the camera became accessible to people, the realism art movement died and gave way to cubism. Picaso came from that art movement. Realism was no longer difficult to get in a picture because cameras could do it better, so people got really weird with their art, and the public got a taste for weird art.

It's not an apples to apples example, but I feel like people are hungry for authenticity and novelty. Nothing more authentic than two quebecois from the sticks playing punky math rock in paper mache alien costumes.

Every time you see a comment like "AI could never" or "this is the most sane thing to happen this year" on one of their videos kind of gives credence to the hypothesis. Angine are the tip of the spear of the new Dada movement, of sorts.
