>>15866759>Good music is being madeI don't doubt it! But how am I supposed to find it? Algorithms, streaming and playlists have all fucked up music promotion and monetization irreparably. Only slop rises to the top and the amount of musical literacy and man hours expected of the average joe who wants to hear good shit is staggering. I normally don't like sticking my head in the sand, but in the face of poptimists scolding you for not engaging with #1 Radio hits like they're Radiohead, what else can you do?
tl;dr if you're not a music August or don't have one for a friend, get some wired earbuds and listen to local community radio on your phone, they'll do the hard work for you. Beats streaming, beats YouTube, beats podcasts.
