We Are Living in The Most ARTIFICIAL Time EVER

We are living in the most inauthentic, artificial, manufactured time for music EVER. From Benson Boone and Sabrina Carpenter to Addison Rae and Tate McRae, today I want to talk about why music feels so artificial, performative, or like every new artist is an industry plant. We will begin by exploring the concept of "Coworker music" or "NPC Music" and why coworker culture can be so strange. Then we'll break down the "Monoculture", how social media has destroyed it, and how negativity-driven algorithms promote constant critique and deconstruction. We will also talk about the desire to be different and how hyper-individualism affects art. We will explain Neoliberalism and how it destroyed creative risk-taking for profit, how neurodivergence can be beneficial for art making, and why music all feels the same now or like constant remakes of the past. We will then end the video on AI and how Chat GPT is destroying people's critical thinking skills, how AI is affecting art, and where this is all headed, with a possible future loss of free will altogether.
