Can confirm, I'm currently on an 80s synth-pop kick.
Gen X in shambles rn
Good
gen x easily the worst music era (excluding hiphop/rnb which really came into it's own during this generation)
Then: Vibrant creativity and authentic analog sound of the 60s-early 80s, all music was recorded with real instruments
Now: Availability and ease of use provided by computers/free software/internet meaning more music being made than ever before, plus algorithmic sorting providing exposure to only the best of the best the world has to offer.
In between: gen x oof i mean, Nickleback? really? come on
Nirvana, Beastie Boys, Massive Attack, Tricky, Portishead, Radiohead, Björk, Primus... Come on
We Gen Xers also grew up during the peak of the popularity of metal.
I'd be the first to say right now metal is amazing but you have to look for it. The days of thrash metal bands filling stadiums are mostly gone except for Metallica.
i know it was a bad take oops. y'all have some good stuff for sure
