How about Hans Zimmer and the gen-Z Swedish musician Nolan went with for Oppenheimer? Not dissonant enough?

I'm more curious if the periphery has declined in coherence thanks to "autocuration" as by TikTok & YouTube.

(creators of GangnamStyle or BabyShark have industrial funding to outdo themselves on their preferred axes just like Nolan but..?)

Opposite, less quantitative take:

(author sorta argued that we're deep in the Perma_weirdo_cene)

It's easy on HN where "votes have won".. evenso I've given up and have resorted to reviewing what 1-pointers PaulHoule and his machine deign coherent enough to respond to

I just wanted to give an example for mass culture that some people consider "artsy", not dive too deep into some kind of taste discussion. :)
