Well my dude, we're getting deep here. Honestly I think every single genre has good music if you dig for it. Mainstream/popular music is literally psychologically developed for people to eat up, but if you look past that, there's really really good stuff in every genre. Let's take hip hop/rap. This is a genre that has been seen as awful/demonized by many in today's world. But if you look past what the mainstream tells you what this genre is, you'll find some incredible things within it.

My Examples:

I truly hope you listen to all of what I linked. If you give me your perspective, I'll listen to the best of my ability. The second thing I linked touches on some very taboo/sensitive topics lyrically.

Get back to me. I love to see another person's perspective.

Okay so... i took the time to listen your songs ( even almost the entire album of ill bill lol ) and the first song sound cool but too repetitive in my eyes ( it's not really hip hop anyway ? ). For the ill bill songs, even though i used to listen lot of hip hop in my youth and stopped since like 10 years, i have to say the quality suprised me in the good sense ( but well it's still aged of 10 years lol, you can't say it's very recent musics... ) as i liked many tracks and the lyrics seem really interesting as well... his flow is nice and the instrumental are decent too. Now don't get me wrong, i'm not saying ALL musics is shit nowadays, i just sincerely think it's much more difficult to find good quality musics among all the horrible crapp ( on the mainstream for the vast majority, i agree ) swayed on us lol. Overally, the average quality of the music field was much higher and better even like 15 years ago ( 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and even some early 2000's stuff being really the golden age of music in my opinion ). Like i said, appart of some OST ( for some reasons musics in the industry of video games, movies and animés have always been good quality, even today ) and maybe some other genre i can't think about, it's really difficult to find great stuff in 2017 . Where's the epic 70 to 90's US variety/funk/disco/soul/pop/new wave ? Where's the amazing electronical stuff ( i'm thinking about dance/techno/dream/makina/trance etc... ) of 90 to 2000's ? The field of trance and electro still has resources but it still remains overused now.. Where's the epic hip hop/rap/reggae/rnb ( with i remind, often conscious and intelligent messages and who denounce just what the new bullshit hip hop glorifies in 2017, namely : sex, violence, drugs, money and vanities in all kind... ) of very early 90's to like maybe what 2005 ( for some artists that stayed true and good ) ?  And what to think about the glorious rock and blues of the 70's to 90's or even the jazz/country of the 30's to 60's.. And how about the fantastic old classical and romantical musics of the 1800's ?  I could go on like this for a long time xD And i should say that : even i appreciate some new genres like ambient musics/epic musics/chillout/uplifting and melodic trance/OST of video games and animés/instrumental musics ( such as piano, guitar, violin, flute, lyre, harmonica ), world musics ( like latina/celtic/african/arabic/indian/asian musics etc.. ) and some freeform/hardstyles/J-core ( very limited to a few tunes in those genres lol ), the glorious era of good and quality musics is definitely behind to me.. peace my friend ^^

Eh, maybe that first song's a mix of genres, but I suppose that's a subjective thing. The biggest thing I'll appreciate here is that you took the time to listen which is something some people simply don't do. Honestly, I think the quality of music seemed so good back then, because all of the really good stuff from then stays well known. Nobody is gonna remember the trash of those decades and I think nobody is going to remember the trash of our decades. I do think the same though, OSTs are almost always super good these days in games/anime/films. It's probably a matter of perspective, but I think the golden age exists now to me. There's a lot of garbage to sift through because music has become so much simpler to make thanks to computers, but these new resources allows some people who have a really tight budget to shine. There's a lot of good albums around these days that wouldn't have existed 10-20 years ago because it was so much more expensive to have such resources.

I always appreciate the talks my dude. <3
