it seems to me the problem you're pointing to, and scoping to music

it's actually much more persvasibe and happening to pretty much all culture

I refer to the siloing of our tastes; or rather to how we can now develop rarer tastes by means of massively increased connectivity

so it's not just pop music, but all of what it means to be "mainstream culture" that's weirdly getting siloed and more rarified



True. It’s not just in music. There is almost no such thing as mainstream culture anymore — it’s exciting for individuals, but also quite worrying, especially when it comes to politics and description of factual events. No wonder democracy seems to be steadily going down the pan.
