What is this generations Nirvana, Limp Bizkit, Tupac, or Rage against the machine? (lemmy.world)

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?

So you're saying that no one listens to music that isn't spoon-fed to them?

My friend, algos won't show me Swedish power metal, I gotta go find it. No one waited for Rage to come on the radio, you sought it out at the record store or from friends that had copied demo tapes and mix tapes.

    Any algorithm that won't let someone discover Sabaton, is a defective algorithm.

    No idea about today, but Pandora used to be cool for this in the "Music Genome Project" days.

    Ahhh, yes Pandora. The Good Ol' Days.

    And I'm the only algorithm I need for finding Swedish power metal, because I put in the hours to find what I like. But, admittedly, my taste in music is generously called "eclectic" by some, and "trash" by my loved ones, so there's no algorithm that's ever even believed I was a real person and not just 3 raccoons in a trench coat.
