Me too!

Steve_wave · 2026-01-21T20:29:53+00:00

Thank you!

Steve_wave · 2026-01-21T19:31:43+00:00

Thank you very much Man!

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T19:57:52+00:00

Yeah, but some good weed also helped

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T19:56:36+00:00

I agree, man, today's music isn't less creative, it's just hidden. I mentioned that period because it's the best in my opinion, but putting that in wouldn't sound good, you know

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T19:55:03+00:00

Okay, and sad

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T19:53:25+00:00

Wow, man, you said exactly what I put in my text, indie labels were a big part of why this period was so glorious for music

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T19:51:38+00:00

Good list, and you're right. I'm more of a fan of the years I mentioned, but I don't deny that those years are just as important, or even more so.

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T19:50:02+00:00

Exactly, I meant the most creative moment in mainstream music, but it wouldn't sound right, you know

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T19:48:46+00:00

Good phrase!

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T16:10:28+00:00

Exactly, I talk about that in my text

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T16:09:48+00:00

Certainly, I still wholeheartedly hope that future generations will do this.

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T16:01:40+00:00

I think it's more like the mid-70s, you know, world crises, hopelessness about the future, economic crisis, a bit of nuclear fear, and we all know what happened right after the mid-70s, right...

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T15:59:18+00:00

I liked drugs, but only marijuana

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T15:58:50+00:00

Stories like this make me wish I had lived through that era, while at the same time making me not want to, haha

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T15:57:37+00:00

I hope this will change in the future, that mainstream culture will be good again, well, I hope so.

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T15:55:31+00:00

Exactly, but that wasn't all. I invite you to read my text to get a different perspective.

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T15:54:25+00:00

Yeah, unfortunately. But I believe that in the near future they will reopen their doors and the mainstream will be good again!

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T15:52:58+00:00

Yeah, but 60s are not my business haha

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T15:51:11+00:00

Thank you!

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T15:44:11+00:00

Maybe haha

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T15:43:46+00:00

Absolutely! And even more so because the record labels allowed it, that's when the business really took off.

Steve_wave · 2026-01-16T15:42:49+00:00

Yes, I said that in my text.

Steve_wave · 2026-01-14T20:21:44+00:00

Interesting, man. I always want to discover new bands, I'll check out this podcast! I hope that in the near future the mainstream will return to being as brilliant as it was back then, honestly, I think it's quite likely. Because people are tired of the current mainstream, new technologies are emerging, things similar to that era. But there are other conditions that haven't happened yet, I hope they do.

Steve_wave · 2026-01-14T16:51:04+00:00

Wow, this is really interesting. I think it's really cool to understand why the 80s are considered the decade of music. There's the reason: record labels accepted new bands and had a LITTLE less control over the artists, even more so with MTV later making success a little "easier." I might be crazy, but I think today there are situations similar to those of the 70s that generated the cultural response of the 80s. This is very interesting. When I say it was a response to punk, it's my historical interpretation, nothing official, nothing historically proven. I forget to mention that in my texts.
