  • Probably helps that I'm happy to listen to whatever genre

  • That really ignores the subgenres so bizarre they were considered jokes. Nightcore, dubstep, vaporwave, witch house, et cetera. All of those influenced popular culture and popular music. In terms of mainstream experimentation - Radiohead alone, come on. The Flaming Lips careened through popularity and back into weird shit like a hyperbolic comet. A Deftones fan in the 90s would listen to "Spell Of Mathematics" and ask if it sounds like that on purpose. Chappel Roan's "Good Luck, Babe" would not have been made the same, a decade prior; what she'd be guide toward is more like Adele's "Your New Love."

    Rick Rubin is still alive and working. Artists give him their latest tracks for a vibe check and he consistently steers them toward success. And he tells says, he doesn't give a shit what's popular, because people have no idea what they want next.

  • musical categories hardened

    That seems like nonsense, given how genres slimed together by the late 90s. Everybody was stealing from everybody else and the best we could do was throw around labels like "alternative." ClearChannel made every genre pull toward country while country became R&B for hwhite people. Meanwhile the electronica scene had discovered computers - a development that took longer than you'd think - and a bunch of dorks styling themselves as DJ [noun] had MP3s all over piracy services. This is right before Youtube, SoundCloud, and MySpace let truly independent artists reach arbitrarily large audiences.

    If we really want to start an argument - there's people who say anything generated literally is not music. Kids these days are growing up with the ability to drop a diss track on their friend for a faux pas that happened five minutes ago. Formulaic, yes, but immediately distinct from everyone listening to the same ten conventionally-attractive pop artists.

  • If you don't think you can get Murder One for an assassination - do you even have the right guy?

    Federal murder statutes carry different legal requirements than comparable state laws, and Garnett said federal law required Mangione's murder and weapons charges to be tied to another crime of violence.

    Oh, of course this is stupider than I could have imagined.

  • In all seriousness it's weird they don't embrace some existing open-source standard, which I assume exist and will not check on, because for fuck's sake it's been the Hello World of WebRTC for fifteen straight years.

    Real-time video over the internet is less novel and less impressive than Google Glass.
