In a way it has but I don't have enough experience to base of. If we're talking rap in regards to your pic, The last "era" if you should even call it that, gained a lot of traction and lost a lot around that time and ended in a way in like 2018. Multiple high tier artists either died or went to prison/jail. The newest sound that's going on right now is pretty much the same as before with a few changes here and there and new faces, who sound way too similar to contemporaries and aren't all that interesting. I'm not sure on this but it also feels like there were more people in that sphere that were getting headlines around that time as compared to now. It felt like it was a different person each day, now it's usually Drake or Kanye in the news for most of the cycle.
The last big event(s) that have happened post 2019 off the top of my head are
-Playboi Carti Album
-The YEEZY 4 President Campaign
-The YEEZY Stadium + Album
-Tory Lanez Shoots Meg
-Lil Nas X + Old Town Road
-Tyler the creator Album IGOR
-More people dying (Pop Smoke, MF DOOM, Young Dolph)
-Travis ASTROWORLD DEATHS
-General Drake stuff
On the other side you have HYPERPOP and RAGE BEATS gaining traction since 2020 and it's gaining more attention, that feels about it..
For music as a whole idk people like Taylor Swift haven't been in news a lot the last two things i can recall are Billie and Olivia Rodrigo gaining fame.

>>3227>Playboi Carti Albumif you're talking about Whole Lotta Red that was kind of a flop
i think the 2010s celebrity boom built on social media and streaming is dead in the water now, especially now that algorithms are what's really in control

>>3228WLR had controversy so it had steam to be talked about for a bit, if it were more successful feedback wise it would have been larger. There's also a few amount of people that have blown up or at least a bit recently due to twitter, instagram, youtube and tiktok, so i'm not sure it being dead is completely right but there is a new shift coming along and i'm not sure how i feel about it.

>>3225I'll be honest, the most recent album I listened in full was Bottemless Pit.
I enjoyed it a lot, but every other single from every other rapper sounded just the same as it did a decade ago. Almost exactly like weezy imo. I don't care for it at all.
I just wish we could just end the computer era and go back to the 60's and 70's sometimes…

I've been thinking alot about this I think the previous century will in the future be ragarded as a musik revolution, people kept coming up with new and unique forms of music with new technologies and methods available to play and share music. But from here onwards we've pretty much done all the best that was possible, now there's only immitators and some dumbasses making complete garbage in an attempt at being "original"
No.8094
>>8092literally everyone new has thought this about the current state of things, its not an enlightened thought, its actually a retarded one.
What will and will not be considered total garbage/10/10 of this generation of music wont be figured out till a few decades from now.
You only feel this way because advertising companies made you feel like that, new genres are coming out all the time you're just not being sold them anymore.
