Damn, I hate it when a cartel that controls what is considered popular in music in society is depowered by modern technology and more open, nominally fairer distribution methods, and when people get to choose what they want to listen to on their own whenever they want, that fucking sucks, such a downer.
People need to be told what is good, and if that definition just so happens to include my music that's fine, of course. Things like breakcore should never have been allowed to exist!
It's funny in that some classical purists probably thought of Bob Dylan's music as trivial and overly simplistic. I think criticism of music is fine if the comparisons make sense (dynamic range loss from over compression, over-mastering of modern music, etc..), but the snobs tend to just claim music now "sucks" without any nuance to their view.
That last sentence but substitute uk drill is of course true. The problem is bagpipes banjos and accordions because I love all three, Although not usually at the same time. Apparently I should have gone down on the Titanic
From my PoV that'd be the 1970s|1980s ... when I heard AC/DC in the local Fremantle Tavern, along with the Divinyls, David Helfgott (classical piano) down at Riccardo's wine bar, touring orchestra's at the local concert hall etc.
Tickets were cheaper than record prices and entry was easier if you were on the roadie circuit and either did some stage work or got waved in by friends through the stage door.
