JFL nobody gives a shit about music or subcultures anymore

Society is rapidly becoming culturally monolithic. Distinct subcultures are becoming a thing of the past and you have a monolithic normie culture that absorbs the most superficial aspects of subcultures and filters out anything of substance from that subculture. We've all seen this happen with looksmaxxing. This has happened with things like "goth" and "emo" as well. I was never a goth or emo but I knew people who were, so I know enough to know it's more than just hairstyles and clothes. But that's all they are now, just aesthetics.

Distinct subcultures are a relic of a pre-terminally online society. They were the result of geographical location, isolation from mainstream culture, and people with a common genuine interest in something. People became a part of a subculture because there were a lot of members of that subculture in their local area and they made friends with people who introduced them to it. But now everyone is a terminally online introvert, who gets all of their opinions, interests and lingo from the internet, so geographical location is no longer a factor. And since almost everyone spends all their time on the same sites (Reddit, tik-tok, instagram) you're seeing more "sameness" across the general population.
Beautifully put. Every fandom, subculture and hobby is like this nowadays. They all died long ago
 
Interesting how subculture and monoculture are both dead.
I mean, the point of subculture. It's subculture, it's under the surface of normies. You can't see this easily but even today there are people who are very serious about music and make it a big part of their persona.
Not really though, most subcultures make it a point to dress in a way that says "I'm not like you."

Music is dead
 
Good. Having an MSM subculture means you NEED to be up to date on the latest episode/game/event if you want to fit in with normies.
“You saw the game yesterday, right, buddy?”
 
Music subcultures are the gayest shit ever
 
if you look like ass, every interaction in life feels like implicitly being asked "wtf are you doing this for" and "why are you still alive" simultaneously :feelsbadman: stuck in first gear
Truthnuke :feelsrope::f:.
