Comment on Why I Ditched Spotify, and How I Set Up My Own Music Stack

I guess I can be proud of not getting into Spotify at the first place. Instead of discovering new music, I discover older ones which I find more reliable since new music industry mostly suck. Oh, also Bandcamp is fine for discovering indie.

There is so much music today. To say new music sucks is wild

That’s my nostalgia talking but what I hear in public is bad, I mean in malls, stores, shops etc. maybe they have a bad taste though. By the way I said the industry sucks not the music. Because of the industry, they’re much shorter now (thanks to Spotify I guess), I hardly find a 45 minutes album with whole great tracks.

If you’re just looking at the popular stuff it’s going to be shit. My library is filled with artists with just couple thousands of listens per month and it’s the shit (to me).
Nowadays everyone can make music and it’ll mean more stuff to filter through but there’ll be more gems to discover.

Are they popular because people actually like them, I wonder. Because some of them are really really bad, they’re far from being art.
But yes, every age has their own gems to discover.

Walmart music will always be dull and milquetoast; its meant to be consumed by the nonexistant “perfectly normal” person. You gotta dig for that gnarly hipster shit you’re into, but I guarantee its out there somewhere

I don’t think gnarly hipsters would listen what I listen. Maybe I don’t hear what I like in the outside world because they can be really old, it’s rare if I hear one on the wild.
