But doesn't he look like a young version of Mehdi Sadaghdar (a.k.a. ElectroBOOM) in the preview picture?

he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white.

I think that might have happened around the Glam and Hair eras.

All musics sound of music, just as all gins taste of gin.
All human music is confined to the human audio frequency range, which is a very narrow slice of the frequencies transmissible through Earth's air, so to that extent all music conforms to a range of common frequencies.
To a species with a differently evolved ear (perhaps with a wider/narrower slice of AF that doesn't fully overlap with ours), all human music may sound very similar. It might sound very different to music composed on a world with a radically different atmospheric composition affecting pitch, and the ways different frequencies propagate/radiate.

will just say that all modern music jumped the shark when Robert Johnson sold his soul to the Devil.

I'm genuinely scrolling past that particular wall of text without looking at it.

The first successful attempt since 1976. Quite an achievement for China.

Compared to the distinct identities of the 60s/70s/80s/90s, the 00s feels like a patchwork of pastiche and recycled styles lacking the long-term resonance that defined earlier eras.
I say that as someone who came of age during the the decade.
Maybe Gen Alpha will start referencing Mr Brightside and have 00s nights in 10 years and I'll be proven wrong.

Have you forgotten, Pink, Katy Perry and Taylor Swift?
I know I’m trying to.

it was unexpectedly very good. Everything else about her is maximum cringe (the space flight, the Musk-fangirling, marrying Russell fucking Brand) but she can sing and knows how to put on a show, which is her job.

It is endemic to a small portion of Tennessee in the Elk River and West Hickory Creek in the Cumberland River drainage. The life span is very short, living up to only 3 years. In many cases the majority of the population does not even reach that age. Most adult males are eaten by birds because of their bright coloration during breeding season.

Just sort of stumbled into her set, having had no previous interest in her whatsoever. She was bloody brilliant, though.

arguing something similar, but half his examples just made me realise that what new technology defined the time was access to all music ever, plus people being able to easily make and publish from home. That level of reflection was new. And as quickly as we burnt through things like mashups, they were novel for a while.
The charts did die, however.
