I'll definitely give KRIT a lot more credit than Joey. 4Eva Is A Mighty Long Time is a good album, and a bit more adventurous sonically, but hoo boy could it do with some serious paring down - most hip-hop double albums suffer very similar fates, and that one is no different. As far as Denzel, he's far from my favorite modern artist, but I do appreciate the way he pays homage to, and incorporates influences from, his predecessors in the Florida and Memphis scenes - for as much as people like to talk about how much of an influence those scenes had on modern "soundcloud rap"/trap, I very much doubt most of those rappers out nowadays could even name a Three 6 Mafia song. I like that Denzel takes that influence a step further and blends it in with modern trap leanings. Is it the most experimental or noteworthy thing in the world? Hell no, but I'd rather him do decently in that lane than try to aim for some "deep meaning" that he either can't articulate or can't fully realize without coming off as trying WAY too hard.
As far as the "trust fund kiddies" go, I can't really speak on anyone else in that scene because I don't know much about their whole financial situation and I can't really find it in me to care THAT much, but I think LCD Soundsystem gets a pass BECAUSE they're so upfront. I mean, James Murphy was running a label for years before LCD Soundsystem even put out their first single, and that first single was basically launched off the relative notoriety of said label. Murphy has always come across as an older dude who spent his 20s listening to esoteric rock/electronic records and kicking around in the music industry, and then went on to start making music when he had enough of a platform to do so and basically be guaranteed either success or a fool-proof backup plan. I totally get why people may not dig it, but there's really nothing to be revealed about his whole situation that he's not already acknowledging in his songs
I couldn’t disagree with you more on The Beatles and Bob but yeah Joni is very special indeed and doesn’t get the credit she is due.
My least favourite current recording artist. I just don’t get it on any level, he just comes across as a tool and his music isn’t interesting...
I’ll go one further. Most are purile and unnecessary and detract from the music that they interlude.
Prog is public school srseholes making boring music to show off their musicianship rather than writing songs for people to enjoy.
Grunge is universally terrible (I like Pumpkins and Nirvana but people tell me they’re not grunge so yeah all the rest is trash).
Brian Eno has destroyed the music of every artist he’s worked with after Bowie...

I see your not a fan of STP or soundgarden
No not really, that whole movement was before my time as a music fan and when I went back to it in the later 90s it didn’t really seem worthy of that much attention, it seemed terribly grey in a multi coloured world.
None of these are hot takes
