Why does music feel so insincere nowadays?
People used to champion vulnerability and earnestness in every genre
What happened?

corporate theatrics
and also society in general progressively shunning sincerely

Millenials saw House MD and thought he was the coolest man ever

It's very simple anon
black people music became the mainstream and most popular
black people don't have consciousness so are incapable of introspection and self reflection

you're getting older and as a result you're trying to cope that everything else has changed when in reality it's moreso (You) that has changed

>>127168541 (OP)
In the 80's there was no space for vulerability and earnestness in music either

People have to put on this air of detachment at all times because everything is analyzed and scrutinized to death now.

>>127168560
Man rap had loads of sincerity early on
>>127168614
While I wouldnt say the punk at the time was vulnerable it was certainly earnest

>While I wouldnt say the punk at the time was vulnerable it was certainly earnest
Wipers definitely was vulnerable, if you consider it punk. Same with maybe some college rock (like Replacements).

Sincerity is uncool

>>127168560
airtight argument, retard

Everyone is too much of a pussy to just fuckin send it.

>>127168541 (OP)
You see past the veil, you notice the grift and the industry plants and now you yearn for genuine moments in a personal level.

>>127168541 (OP)
Everyone is afraid of being genuine since you may come out as cringe, racist, etc.

Blame the early internet for hiding everything upon layers and layers of irony.

He isn't wrong. This site itself is a product of that irony. More of a millennial thing though. Just like the 00 hipsters with ironic mustaches and ironic "breakfast cereal restaurants" and ironically wore lumberback flannels with like hawaiian shorts or something.

>everything you like sucks!! youtubers
>lets make meme media more popular because liking stuff that isn't all jokes is cringe

Sincerity in rock first started in /lit/ before rock. Like Catcher in the Rye and Holden Caulfield shitting on everyone for being "phonies". Then Rebel Without a Cause, and James Dean's character just keeping it real and not giving a shit about the cool kids in that movie. And then he won over the girl when she saw how real he was. Every guy suddenly wanted to be that dude. I guess that ideal lasted for about 50 years. It's easier to just hide and make a mockery of life.

Who are some insincere artists?

>>127169370
>>127169390
The early internet was a bunch of techfags and tiny fandoms communicating through phoneline routers you dumb zoomers.

>People think of the 2000s as "the early internet"
You guys are skipping like 20 fucking years

>>127169684
I'm not saying it's the internet by itself. Just saying a lot of it coincides with a lot of millennial stuff. Gen X weren't ironic hipsters. That was sincerity to the point of death. See Kurt. But even nu-metal could be called sincere. Just a bit cringier. I mean, I still believe Jonathan Davis or Chester when they said they pissed off and were in pain.

>>127168541 (OP)
zoomers have no sovl and millenials lost their sovl when they became Hipster faggots like Fantanus

>>127170057
Are you religious? Then all humans have a soul. Are you not? Then no human does. Stop spamming this retarded fucking meme faggot

>>127170057
>zoomers have no sovl
Zoomers literally made the most soulful album of the decade. It's you who has no sovl

>>127170177
Fuck your overrated shit, also it's nothing new.

>>127171363
Yeah, I rest my case. Millennials cant make or understand art at all. sad to see. really

>>127171396
Trolling used to be an art.

>>127171396
Cry harder zoomies.

>>127171422
>>127171446
Not understanding music isn't my problem. Too bad you dont have a soul to understand it, can't help with that

>>127168541 (OP)
money ruins everything. Look at Drake, one of the most soulful rappers ever who made songs like this and essentially gave birth to the lo-fi, night drive genre, even the lyrics talks about his struggles and contradictions of being successful and having regrets

https://youtu.be/PMk8L9FNqnY

then he becomes super successul and becomes a brand and a product instead of an artist. Sad, but a case as old as time
