Oh my fucking god I just wanted to say how otherworldly bad music is right now (pop has always been stupid to varying levels but oh my fucking god they have raised the stakes). I just listened to a bunch of pop tracks from various genres and I literally think I'm about to die. Rock, country, indie, folk, hipster white rap, whatever you call home, is aggressively bad. It's like Walmart made a gun that can shoot cum and blood and piss and shit and puke into your soul. We are so fucking fucked. I want to saw my own head off.

This is a perfect thread to ask recommendations. Particularly death/thrash metal or old school type beat hip hop. Y'all got any?

Slugdge is a proggy tech death band with amazing riffs and solid songwriting. Esoteric malocology is their most recent release and their best and they are supposedly coming out with a new album next year.

If you want to listen to death metal that sounds like a space demon lord burping out acid, Demilich is pretty fucking sick and unique and unfortunately only had one album in the 90s that sounds way ahead of its time.

Thrash metal? "Infest the Rat's Nest" by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Dont wanna spoil it but its a space opera about climate change and killing billionares and shit.

Omnium Gatherum album by King Gizzard has a few old school hip hop type beats.

On the death/thrash front, have you stumbled across Crypta and/or Nervosa yet? Same label, and a couple of the same members; Crypta is an 80's/90's death metal throwback with more modern production techniques, and Nervosa is more thrash-oriented.

Nervosa i know of crypta not so much. Logged

It's a completely ridiculous idea to think that worsening material conditions won't lead to worse art, or that the logic of the market (especially in our age of algorithms and market research ) prioritizing profit over everything else won't harm art either.

Music is undeniably getting worse.
