But would they perceive this lack of spirit that we perceive
maybe not from a single track in a vacuum but it would rapidly become apparent were they to explore further

We fetishize (justifiably/nobly) innovation and honour it in the past just as we yearn for it in the present.
Can you tell I'm now high and have been reading paradise lost all day?
idk I don't. I respect it but I don't care about hearing "the future" like someone said up thread. whatever is the future now will be dated someday.
this is where dance music frequently paints itself into a career, the obsession w/the new leading people into these cul-de-sacs of exulting minimal changes to existing templates

your post on the other thread got me thinking that geography operates similarly on music, no? the academic lens bit especiallywell yeah exactly. everything is interconnected and moves as part of the same time-current. and tracing that wave (and its countercurrents, eddies and stagnations) is a huge part of being a music fan. using music as a lens to view time and its metamorphoses.
because I want to hear music that sounds like the future. and live there. old music should sound more future than where we are now 2018. listening to walking bass and doo-wop i'd be listening to a nice snapshot of 19__ but that's different to what i'd actually like to hear. of course the future is found in unexpected places.
does the idea of future still even sound relevant in 2018?

You're right - and I think it's to do with how many people first twig on to what's so great about dancing on drugs
That is - taking drugs and dancing
There's a musical infatuation which starts with a big bang
Chasing new sounds like I used to chase a buzz by downing horrendously dirty pills
we live in the future. or at least its beginning. it's basically impossible not to live networked at this point. cyberpunk VR, biohacking, etc is all right around the corner.
I have a notion that VR is actually the artform of the future, at this point.
