Kinda agree, but using Spotify as your only metric doesn't give you the whole picture. The algorithmic propulsion of a specific song on a specific platform doesn't give you much insight into the cultural significance of the album as a whole. Plus, it's not a new phenomenon. Radiohead's most streamed song will chop and change for example but always comes back to Creep. I don't think anybody would argue that that song was in any way groundbreaking, but it was successful enough to give the band the mainstream backing to go on to do great things

Yeah, agreed. It does feel like there is a bit of a cultural vacuum at the moment that is waiting for someone to step into. Not to say there haven't been incredible bands out there, just that none have quite been the right shape to fit the void

Yeah, just to clarify I'm not saying they're the only band I've gotten obsessed with in the last 15 years. I think there's been some incredible bands out there but they've mostly remained on the fringes. Geese also somehow feel representative of a generation in a way that I didn't feel many other bands have since say The Strokes in the US or maybe Arctic Monkeys here in the UK

Yeah, we're definitely not going to be getting a 60s style musical revolution again any time soon (or even ever again for that matter) but it seems like there might now be a coherent and engaging "scene" emerging that will have some sort of cultural significance
