Amazing music footnote from 1991

In 1991, rock was on such a roll that Nirvana’s “Nevermind,” the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “Blood Sugar Sex Magik” and Soundgarden’s “Badmotorfinger” — now considered classic albums of the era — all came out on the very same day: Sept. 24. The week before that, Guns N’ Roses dropped not one but two blockbuster LPs: “Use Your Illusion I” and “II.” And in the previous month, two monster rock albums arrived in Pearl Jam’s “Ten” and Metallica’s self-titler, known as “The Black Album,” which turns 30 on Thursday.
NY Post article
All those classic albums came out within 2 months of each other.
At the time, I didn’t realize how good we had it.
What has happened to the music world?

Rock music died somewhere around the turn of the century. 1950s-1990s, it was the shite. A few stragglers got something decent out in the early 2000s, but definitely dead by 2010.
I'm not even aware of a rock station that plays contemporary rock. It all has to be classic rock.

This isn’t a chicken and egg debate with music
The idiots who like stupid music has increased. Thus more mainstream shite music

Pop had been around. Rap happened. The industry realized that it's easy to keep pumping out illiterate buffoons rhyming to a drum machine or over an old pop lick than musicians who are good enough to potentially set their own terms.
We've basically had a quarter century assembly line of strippers, rappers and autotune. Most of the rest are kids aping old songs in pro-tools. It's definitely a musical dark age.

That is wild. A lot of really good music (some of those are vastly overrated though) in a short period of time.
I miss the days of anticipating my favorite band's new album coming out and going to the record shop on the day it dropped. Or standing in a music shop and listening to obscure shite in the store headphones and coming across absolute gems that no one else knew about. Good times.

I’m thinking about responding with a rap, but that might be too much.

Luke Bryan happened.

Technology. It used to take some type of talent to release a good RECORD. Now, any dumb shite can auto tune a catchy song into 20m YouTube views and start a career.

The studios bought up all the radio stations so they get to decide "what's popular".
They sign untalented artists intentionally because they never have to worry about them trying to get out of their contract.

This is pretty much right on target.

Ehhh.
I'd say Use Your Illusion I&II have probably aged the worst in my opinion.
Pearl Jam "Ten", for me, may have aged the best. Its a really, really spectacular album that captures that age perfectly. Full of great, listenable grunge era songs and a surprising amount of depth and interesting lyrics.

Nothing. Still lots of great records being put out there.
