I strongly recommend doing a deep dive into some genres over at Bandcamp if you haven't already.
I was of the same opinion for a while, but I think you'll be pleasantly surprised if you check into the lesser known music corners.
Indeed, popular music has become highly commercial, but music as a whole is popping off
Yeah I've been very happy with all the new sounds and genres to discover. You do have to parse through a bunch of mediocre stuff, but there are soooo many diamonds in the rough.
I second this, there are few gems hiding there, and even some newer bands, that aren't in the mainstream are making some nice tunes. Since I got off spotify and went old school, found like dozen bands that never knew existed.
Facts! I personally still love Spotify, but I pair it with the Musicolet app on Android with a Bandcamp downloads folder.
I wish the Bandcamp was a lot better, but that's another story lol
