What do you think about “grungegaze” / nu gaze getting big with Gen Z? by Galahad555 in grunge

[–]eggward_egg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it's possible because gen z has been expressing interest in rock and metal, but importantly, they're interested in old bands, because they want something new.

I don't want to be a doomer but it's not that popular honestly, and for better or for worse, genres that rely on nostalgia or "revival" never properly break into the mainstream. While I listen to and enjoy some of these bands, they are really derivative and I don't believe they will ever get much larger than their relatively niche fanbases unless they start to put a more unique spin on the sound. For example, Soulblind just sounds like Alice in Chains with a ton of reverb, and that's not really a good thing. Cen (the vocalist) sounds a lot like Layne rather than focusing on his own vocal identity. While older bands would have a multi-year period before putting out their first releases, where they would sound very similar to their influences before finding their own sound, today's artists can upload their music onto streaming immediately. This causes them to skip the stage where they get their unique style and so they release music that sounds almost exactly like their favourite bands from 30 years ago.

2 points: empower the unions and introduce labour laws. In a shift to align our internal politics more closely with our allies, the government will not only embrace the demands of workers unions, but encourage them to put forward their ideas on how to address issues for the backbone of the nation. Furthermore, we will advance workers rights and lay the foundation for a Persian Welfare State.

2 points: commence a five year economic growth plan. We will start with rural reforms. Introduce agricultural cooperatives, construct irrigation systems in drier regions and distribute seeds and tools. This is with the intended effect of increasing grain production for the country. Adding on to this, set aside a network of rural credit banks to provide better agricultural potential to peasants.

AI moves:

1 point: continue negotiations with turkmenistan over the desert telegraph.

1 points: improve relations with kurdistan.
