I was looking into why I just don't see cover bands at my local venue but this hits a bit deeper at the issue.

I wonder if how niche music tastes have become has something to do with it.

Maybe it’s because I’m old, but modern music SUCKS (yeah, blanket statement. There will always be exceptions, I know). It all lacks that organic warm feeling that elicits that feel good thing music used to bring.

I honestly don’t think niche music tastes have as much to do with it as much as music seems to have become exactly like movies. Rehash something from the 80s again and call it new or like all the marvel/dc mcshit.

It’s not that music from the last 20 years sucks, more that it is just more of the same. There aren’t many bands you can listen to today where their sound isn’t that of a prior era, maybe slightly redone. When was the last real new musical genre? 90’s electronic, hip hop, R&b? 80s brought us alternative grunge and synth music. 70’s disco and prog rock and so on.
