art in general dead, there there have been no innovations in the last 20 years

What about computer games.

>>65906021
lol. Computer games aren't art, they're just interactive hollywood films.
Besides my gamer friends are always complaining about how games are becoming easier and easier. So they're not even stimulating your brain as much.

as far as music goes, it seems that development has become more subtle, maybe because of ease of access, both in terms of consumtion and means of production.

but also, paradigms and retrospectively become more distinct, and developments become innovations, as the middle stages are omitted, as opposed to being viewed in real-time.

as for rock, it lives on in noise in a sense, but noise stopped being avant-garde 40 years ago, it's a lifeless ritual of self-negation just like rock.

what is avant-garde now? even if you look at what the mainstream accepts as contemporary expression, hip-hop is 40 years old too.

Video games died when they started broadcasting on national television teams of neckbeards chasing each other around on a shooting game.

Lol stay ignorant idiot

The ones that are art are the ones that gamer faggots hate. Mime is art, Tetris is not.

Rock music is the greatest music tradition of post WWII era in western civilization besides pop music (which frequently intertwined with rock), of course people don't want to see it die.

Jazz > funk > electronica > hip hop >>> rock

How can you stil have such terrible taste after 8 years

>>65906334
Your friend is playing the wrong games then. AAA productions are becoming easier and easier because video games are mainstream now. However challenging games still very much exist.

What your friend said is the equivalent of someone saying there's no good music in this generation. le wrong generation, etcetc

>>65906678
Besides the fact I wasn't serious, thought electronica would give that away, rock still sucks and I still have the best taste on the board.

Just stopping by to say this is a very fun album. One of my favorite Mingus LPs.

He would still be right, because you're "challenging" games, just as the avant-garde music of the 60s, was much better than the indie games and avant-meme music that exists today.

Record labels quit investing in guitar music this decade. Why that is is a matter of debate.
