Why do male dominated music genres become neutered over time? We see it with rock, country and rap. It starts out as "being a rockstar/cowboy/gangsta is awesome!", but then turns on itself and becomes self critical and self loathing, then ends up pacified and afraid of offending anyone, and finally fades into irrelevance. It is what it is.

You watch pro wrestling and are nostalgic for a time when cowboys were cool.

Literally the mental age of a child.

Never surrender to the momentum of mediocrity, Sailor.

All I know is that in the last few years, the chances of me liking music that is new to me go way up if the singer is female. I think The Weather Station broke me.

Burt are you saying that old school country is not largely self critical and/or self loathing?

[Matters]

“Electrical Storm” is one of the great U2 songs.

yes, male artists aren't doing shit right now. Possibly because they've been castrated and are lost in a haze of nihilism.

Pretty sure Snatch hates all women that aren't named Polly Jean Harvey. It's getting kinda weird.

The Breeders are opening a couple dates for Olivia Rodrigo's upcoming tour?! What an odd pairing, but I kind of love it.

I haven’t listened to guts; but seems she is going for an alt 90s pop sound.

Anyway; I’m diving hard into Breeders this weekend.
