Mainstream music has been complete trash since 1988. If you listen anything the average person knows about from past that year then you’re doing yourself and the world a disservice.
I’ve been trying to get into music lately, do u have any reccommendations
What kind of stuff do you already like? Most of my arcane knowledge is in punk, goth, new wave, industrial, weird arty stuff and things along those lines.

Working on that. I’m not a very musically inclined person. Punk is fun I guess? Idk what new wave or industrial music is like but that sounds interesting.
I’ve wasted the past year getting into music, so if you like, I can recommend you at least a little bit of music in the bounds of: hardcore punk and a few of its subgenres, most styles of emo, neofolk, hyperpop, post-punk, and post-rock; though metal is my favorite, and I could give you recommendations for most sounds in black metal, death metal, doom metal, power metal, thrash, and traditional heavy metal. I haven’t gotten quite as deep into these styles, but I could also recommend you the basics for a handful of other styles if you want them, mainly slowcore, shoegaze, no wave, noise and noise rock, and kosmiche musik
I “got into music” by constantly streaming this college radio turned public radio out of Minneapolis while I’m working. It’s not perfect, but the hosts really like music and generally keep up on the cutting edge while avoiding top 40s. After a while you’ll atleast be able to talk to young folk about music that they like.
It is okay to only like older music but music made after 1988 in the mainstream can still be good. Dont get me wrong, a lot of it is bad, but that was true of all eras we just have survivorship bias
