the interest/happiness in amateurism i think is also related to the rise in people who dont want to be dictated to by supposedly elite experts, or the distrust in authority or consensus.

Dub techno is a deep pit of mediocrity. It is very hard to find something completely bad, but no one has yet to match Basic Channel. Not even remotely
ive always said this is what is so interesting and unique about mr tea's music. its a much greater achievement than the rest of the music dissensus makes which tends to land in the zone between competent mediocrity and the willfully inept.Genuinely bad music is getting so rare I get all excited when I find it.
Curse of the connoisseur.so that even a performance of e.g. Beethoven that sounds perfectly good to the average listener might sound terrible (or more likely mediocre) to the connoisseur.
This is why I'm wary of technical language and keep focusing on the way people pick up certain terms from Twitter. This stuff can be a costume.It's also easy to become a "connoisseur" by learning what the other connoisseurs think is good and looking for that.
Oh what a tangled web
not only is its possible its actually the classic arc of record collecting.It's possible to become such a connoisseur that you loop back round and start to appreciate the dross.
That and you probably end up hating every other connoisseur, don't want to be seen as one of them and start to enjoy winding them up.
