I feel global political oppression or global wars usually produce great music but Macklemore might be the peak.
Nothing against him, some of his songs are good, but I expected real rage inducing stuff with everything going on. Or is this just the state of music as a whole?
Absolutely fair point, and I agree with you to some degree. I imagine that it’s somewhere in the middle, where bands have flooded the space so that if no technical means exists for discovery, we’ve traded off friction points. Instead of the 90’s version where people would drive 40 minutes to the cool reord store in the next town over, now discerning listeners looking for gems have to wade through more and more bands they don’t like. It’s no one’s fault, it’s just how it is.
