why dyou think desire is a bad quality? i dont hear much desire actually. was listening to some old kevin saunderson lately and comparing with a lot of modern uk bass - uk bass doesnt have sexiness in it. au seve was a bit sensual at least but by and large its pretty disinterested in sex. i dont know if i hear much real desire in pop that much either - all sounds a bit robotic.I think it all sounds pretty miserable or atleast hedonistic/based on desire

maybe it's a reflection of real-world events: the crap world economy, dysfunctional governments, austerity, growing divide between the rich and everyone else, chronic/longterm unemployment, international conflict, global warming, etc.
granted, all those things have happened before, but there does seem to be a convergence of bad things happening.
More miserable than what / since when?
Edit: I mean, without answering that we can't really answer the yes / no part of the original question, and without checking whether that actually stands up to scrutiny we're back to playing that game where we make up a trend based on our prejudices about why the world is going to hell in a handcart, and then spend ages demonstrating how this trend perfectly confirms our theories about why the world is going to hell in a handcart. Which is kind of a wank.
