I quite enjoyed nu-rave for the brief year or two that was a thing.

I like alt country but it aint a genera. It's just country made by city folk.

We need Holl Rock.

Decimalized Musical Stave. The decative. Two new notes. Wo and Bo.

Also, like eveyrhing EQ it has all been done. The 12 tones of the chromatic with the varying chords/dischords can only make a certain number of sounds/combos. It took a few years and even a few plagerists tried to use the 3rd oboe part of a Mozart symphony as a hook for a new rock song.

We need Holl Rock. Or the 42 note scale revisited.

What we need more of is new forms of entertainment. We are already drowning in options to distract us from reality. Ever consider what it would like to be an author? Imagine your book versus every other book in the store. Same thing with music. Same thing with video games. Especially once Steam let anyone publish, there's no shortage of video games to play. Or look on itch.io for the library of indie games. Or remember Kongregate with tens of thousands of free flash games? Or every game system ever with stuff you can still play with an emulator.

The soul of everything is already ground down to a flavorless grey paste and it'll get real obvious when AI gets better at whatever art is and instantaneously creates whatever passes for quality entertainment on a whim. Is it still entertaining at that point? I can't decide. One must imagine Homer happy.

I am genuenlly concerned abou tthis.

1. I think that the internet conditioned the last 25 years to see the value, and importance of making something "broadly appealing"

Meaning, if you make something that the zietguist loves, you make billions in merchandising.

If oyu make something that a sub culture loves, you make a decent profit from that "niche" group.

The problem IMO is that niche groups, have been eradicated and replaced with zeitguiests.

Every streamer plays the same games.

Every gamer plays the same games.

Every indi game, is literally the same game....

Like nobody wants to do anything different anymore.

This clip from Wayne's world completely does not apply to modern creativity anymore. Everyone want's their little graphic novel to be optioned as a movie, and a TV series, and 30 video games.

"Led Zeplin didn't make music that everybody likes, they left that up to the Beatles"



I appreciate Monsters & Memories for trying to appeal to a very small sect of EQ style gamers. I hope they lean into it and make it repulsive to modern gamers. But I bet it will be some kind of "easy to play, with hard core roots" like every fucking thing else in the god damn world trying to hit a million users day 1.

Ironically waynes world is completely designed itself to be broadly appealing and was one of the first to discover this life hack. Smfh.

Boomers:

Started listening to jazz & blues music (first punk rock of the western world).

Invented Rock & Roll by mashing up jazz, country, and the blues.

Invented Electronic music and Disco.

Invented Rap Music.

Gen X and beyond:

Limp Biskit.

Mumble rap.

Differnt BPM electro.

There hasn't been a new genera of music for the last 3 "generations".

That's another sign that creativly we suck now.

Not only music, but creativity in movies. Everything seems to be a re-release or a remake, or a marvel movie (not a diss I like them).

They just made a sequel to Beetlejuice and the wizard of Oz. Lmao they didn't even try to bring the 12 other novels from that series to life before some punk is like I'll write my own wizard of Oz fan art and society just eats it up.
