a lot of people lament that modern music is quite focused on re-evaluating old sounds and subgenres and etc but I think it's pretty cool and interesting to be in a time where people can say "that sound that was around for a couple years 20-30 years ago was really good, why did we just drop that?"
@ordosmarkzero I can agree with you, this is good for music in the sense that old pieces are not being forgotten and we know how they were made. Every new era of music must be able to reproduce its previous forms in order to evolve, remain at the forefront of culture, and transcend it, rather than simply change fashion because the old has become boring. And this is the advantage of today's music. But it is also bad, from another hand, not simply because we're not making anything new, but because we're just grabbing it out of context in which it existed. Music is always mirrors the time in which it exists, even if it's instrumental, and this grabbing kinda makes music lose this important aspect, "historical" aspect. So, when you're listening to 80s or 90s music, you don't feel anymore that it was made there, because we made it sound modern. If we strip music of this aspect, it becomes harder for us to express the present, and people from the future won’t find our music as interesting to listen to as, say, the music of the ’90s, because ours won’t have anything new to say. I think we all should make it less abstract & try to express our real life through music; and new forms will surely emerge. But yeah, that's just my personal opinion (one that gets a lot of flak) and my music isn't all that great so far, but maybe you can agree, too :D
