Yeah, there couldn't possibly exist people who simply have different taste than you do.
Pfff.
Hilarious.
More hypermale "my reality is objective reality" bullshit.
my statement had absolutely nothing to do with taste. there is amazing, jaw dropping, life changing new music out there what EVER your taste.
people didn't stop making "good music" after 1979 or when ever you'd like to draw the line.
and on a side note, not important at all to the discussion, but our taste happen to actually over lap some to quite a bit. for example we both love Suicide. we both love all that Kraut stuff. the list can probably go on for pages actually.
exciting and delicious developmets in the 21st century in these fields, and just off the top, from the very limited knowledge of one (albeit obsessive as fuck) individual:
modern classical -- an entire universe out there. do you like Feldman? do you like Scelsi? well there are people following their footsteps.
improvised music -- amazing post-silience developments. for instance Hammer River, which is a project conceived as a tribute Alice Coltrane.
free jazz -- so much so much so much beautiful music and recordings...
rock -- buried under a lot of garbage, sure, but there are many mutant strains worthy of the attention of someone like you.
electro-acoustic -- so much amazing post-noise shit being made.
and my negative posts aside, there is, at the end of the day an overwhelming amount of good dance music being made, ON EVERY CONTINENT.
but the point is: if one is not REALLY interested in seeking any of it out, or open one's ears, or challenging oneself with new things, or open to the idea of perhaps GROWING as listener, then of course there is nothing good.
and of course there is nothing wrong with not being interested. plenty of people are not interested in discovering new music and choose to use their energy else where. their lives are enriched by other means.
