I can't even listen to contemporary music these days. I understand Post Punk and Goth is still a thing in Latin American countries but I dont live in Shitty 3rd World

What happen to creativity?

we live in the music equivalent of the 30's 1940's
the economy collapsed, nobodies taking any risk, and labels crank out as much cheap radio hit slop as humanly possible

The Damn and Gang of Four were great until the mid 1980s and turned to 80s Pop shit
though now those songs still sound better than anything produced today. I love a Man in a Uniform caused so many fans to cringe with its Newwave sound. yet somehow listening to it and comparing it to any of the thousands of shit "New rock" coming out would be an instant hit. Shadow of Love is one examply (The Damn)

They actually had public recording booths which they would let people pay to record their own music and a lot of it got produced because it was cheap to do so.
so a lot of mid level music was created. people who made decent music before the 29 crash were also making songs for 5 bucks a song for hollywood. after WWII Prosperity hit America like it never had before. maybe only surpassed with the mid 10s with the dot com boom. Peaking around 2016.
