Well it kinda is, in the online communities it kinda is. The vocal majority watches the same things, buys the same things, decides to sell the no-longer-new things after the hype cycle is over, has pedalboards organized in the N approved ways, has the same trendy guitar, the same amps.

In those internet communities there’s people who don’t play this game but they barely post. In real life, there’s also the people who don’t care, but then again they won’t really talk about it as a hobby.

But the people who actually had some interesting insights 10 years ago are now only parroting the “mainstream” guitar influencers. Which themselves are often parroting things from 10 years ago.

I’m not complaining, btw: it is what it is. It’s just that it is homogeneous and boring!
