No it’s not. There’s a lot of good music from the 80’s. And a lot of shit music from then. That’s how it always has been. Take advantage of the access you have to music at this point in time and listen to as much of it as you can and you will be able to find something you like from every year.
Playlists, radios, falling into the rabbit hole of ‘you might like’/‘related artists’ all are amazing ways to discover new music. Also there’s this website samplette.io that shuffles through just about every video on YT that can be considered music. Intended to be used to find samples, I found it works rlly well for finding old/obscure music, as it also includes videos of septuagenarians turntables playing worn-out 45s that haven’t seen the light of day in 40 years

It’s not “bad” per se. More like it’s “too good”. There’s just way too much dynamic range for consumer/average sound setups. Most built-in speakers are cheap and don’t have enough super high-end or low-end. And most sound bars/surround systems, are heavily low end(bass)- focused. There was a point in the mid/late 2000s where sound companies convinced us that crushing bass=high quality sound, which lead to sound systems being tuned with a heavy low end, or people getting them In Their house and just cranking the bass nob up.
Idk maybe just compress the audio of shows like they do commercials bc I have absolutely no fckn problem hearing those

was talking about this in my botany class this past week. the berkshires and CRV are only very recently forested. all these mountains and hills were completely bare until the early 1900s. when colonizers first came they were under the impression that it was all fresh usable farmland. they found very quickly that is was about a foot of soil(if that) and then many, very large rocks and boulders (hence the large quantity of stonewalls in the woods). so after trying to convert the area into usable farmland for crops and realizing this someone recognized that the midwest was much suitable land for crops. we were then left with no trees until people realized that we need to replace the trees.
