Why do people not make serious music anymore? Everything these days is ironic, or post-ironic or whatever dumb shit it is these days. Every song involves memes, cringey internet references, and dumb tiktok dances and trends. What happened to serious music? Where are the people making music that is thoughtful, or dark, or that tries to make a statement beyond just "dude le dank memes lol"?

Have you listened to the new Fiona Apple album? You know, the one that got a 10 from Pitchfork?

I did, I liked it, but what's with the weird twee indie thing she's going for these days? I preferred Fiona Apple's 90s albums.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Streaming. Music became legally free thus making it totally worthless and it lost all value.

You can't see what I mean? Look at all the music that's being made these days. I mean pop and hip hop have totally abandoned all seriousness in favor of just making tiktok anthems now. The most popular modern artists on Yas Forums are all these cringey shits like Death Grips or King Gizzard that build their whole aesthetic around "memes" and internet culture. I just find it so exhausting. Why are people not writing music about real life experiences anymore? Why does everything have to be coated with 10 layers of irony?

youve clearly never actually listened to dg if you think their music involves memes or irony at all. youre conflating the fanbase with the music.
the same is probably true for king gizz but ive never listened to them

Replace those bands with 100 Gecs and Playboi Carti as they never used meme references ever. I do agree tho
