A sincere and thought-provoking post, and well-written, thank you!

The post-genre world

My deep interest in musical culture began in the mid-1990s when I was a teenager and ended in the mid-2000s. This happened partly because I got older and music stopped being a key identifier to me, but also because the era of collecting tapes and CDs came to an end — I started listening to everything online. So, I have this feeling that the best time for music ended sometime in the beginning of 2000s. Or maybe "my time in music" is simply in the past. I don't know... @qwerrie what do you think?

The problem of censorship in culture through the algorithms of YouTube and TikTok is real — everything that passes through them is a kind of socially sterile. (Could the rise in societal toxicity be a response to this censorship — a kind of compensation/sublimation?) And this creates a breeding ground for something alternative — existing somewhere in reality or the dark web. Whether this potential will be realized is another question. We’ll see.
