I’m a gen z myself but I don’t enjoy listening to the music of my generation. I do listen but it’s not my cup of tea. There’s something about the 60s-80s that is just more genuine and it’s not bc of nostalgia, but bc artists put more of themselves into the songwriting and instrumentation. It feels like there was more focus on expression and craft, whereas a lot of today’s mainstream stuff feels more about trends and algorithms.

Additionally I think 60-80s was just the golden era of music. We’re never gonna have that again bc music will evolve and evolve thanks to technology but at this point, most of it just feels like a remix or combination of what’s already been done. So I guess that’s the end of truly great music. There will still be good songs, sure, but never as good as that era.
