   I feel like popular music didn't really change in character for the last 20 years, except for the stupid stuff.

   But maybe that's a huge carve-out and this is how every generation felt.

     @clacke Babymetal has been heading in an interesting direction. I am not up on all my Babymetal lore but it seems they have shed the idol chains and Su-metal at least has a clear voice. She's now 27 so kinda past idol, though I can't say that is a scene I know a lot about. Electric Callboy's Tekkno is also interesting with a new lead singer but I think they have backslid on their most recent album. The rise of streaming I think has lead to a lack of diversity on the very pointy end of mainstream

     @clacke Samurai Pizza Cats are another band that in some ways reflect the hair metal era but with a sound completely different. SPC has had some conteoveries though. Idk really anything about them. I also don't think their music is as interesting as Electric Callboy's. They have a song that ostensibly is about a chef that murders people that order pineapple on their pizza. Maybe start with Zero Hero to get a sense of their weird humor first though

     @clacke Korean band Kardi has some interesting stuff too though that is not a scene I know much about so hard to say how mainstream they are

     @clacke Falling In Reverse has it's moments. Clearly a child of pop homogenezation at some level but the ballad cover of Last Resort and all of these bands intense focus on video again points to the 80s.

     The Beatles: Just these kids in a basement making distorted noises instead of real grown-up music. Other than that sort of nonsense, the music in the 60s was the same as in the 50s. 😅

     @musicman It was not my intention to solicit recommendations, but these sound like great recommendations! Thanks!
