I think you're missing the point.
Plenty of artists are just making art for themselves.
Why don't we all just wear VR headsets all day?
LOL enjoy your atomized Balkanized tower of Babel existence. If it has to be explained then you're consitutionally incapable of understanding it anyway.
You're disgusting.
Either that or you actually spit on the very idea of community and shared culture in which case you are yet more disgusting and are my enemy.
This is no place for personal insults, so I'll call it here as this clearly isn't a genuine exchange.
>If you enjoy it and the musicians are making it what else is there?
LOL.
Also, a kiwi, a german, and an uzbek in a discord channel does not a community make. I'm talking about people playing banjo on their porch because that is what people do in their community and their region
And definitely don't like things based on the real world, the real world is shit.
If you're only considering your 25 favorite new songs out of tens of millions then sure, it's better. But also there is recency/novelty bias which counteracts and may overcome any past/nostalgia bias
In conclusion, if all you're doing is listening to music alone in your apartment then it's never been better. Until you step out into the real world and realize that, best-case scenario, everyone hates your music and everything that it represents. More likely they will be completely bored and indifferent.
