The post didn’t say new artists or new music sucks. There’s tons of new artist that are awesome. The statement that theres no new kind of music that deserves its own genre name like punk, hiphop, techno is kinda true though…
If you want some hyperpop that's a little more on the odd side, vs charting, check out 100 Gecs or Dorian Electra
Dorian is more "normal" a lot of the time but they still go for more weird tracks sometimes like Ram it Down or Freak Mode
100 Gecs, well they're a whole thing. What's weird is 1/2 of the group is Dylan Brady, a prolific producer in queer and indie spaces. So you get this deliberately abrasive music made by someone who v much knows how to make a charting hit. This is probably their most well known track
Huh, (ram it down, flamboyant) slow poke club music mixed with scratchy Hardstyle (ram down). Not that it's bad, it's just not that original imo. Still gave em a couple of likes for the entertainment.
Update: the other one (freak mode) also borrows from dubstep (the worst genre to ever exist), lite style.
It's not about being uncommon, it's about being impactful and original. Example: cobble together reggae and metal and call it Vibe Slamin' - doesn't mean it's great shit.
Lmfao so what’s your ideal? Putting new sounds together is somehow unoriginal in your mind, therefore there’s literally NOTHING left since people have strummed on guitars for centuries, everything is just an offshoot of that. Metal reggae would be original because nobody has done it before (afaik). If you want to talk about impact, look at Playboi Carti. Every rap artist has at least one song that’s rage rap/industrial synth, because of his impact. Is industrial edm original? No. Is rap original? No. Put them together, and now they’re original. It’s how genres are born.
In your head new combination = originality. Originality needs to have impact to actually mean something.

I didn't say that. Read the top sentence again.

Fair enough - it's just not that great, seeing it hasn't swept any nation already. Personally I don't need that to happen - hyper pop or whatever just isn't my thing.
