Summary
In a time of big data and algorithmic consumption, it's easy to buy into the myth of human passivity. Are the styles of art people enjoy really just chosen for us by the old powers of corporate capital and the new sway of the internet? In 2011's Retromania, Simon Reynolds made the case that musicians themselves had stalled creatively too. The internet had given us all unprecedented access to the past, and a new era of artists were left just repeating and regurgitating variations on old ideas. Thankfully, the decade which followed told a very different story; one of relentless innovation, creativity and broken boundaries. At the end of it, both the mainstream and the underground sounded completely different; liberated by new concepts of what is and isn't possible in song, uninteresting in the hindrances of genre, palatability and even gender. Crucially, the story of how these ideas came to be stands in direct contradiction to the kind of creeping nihilism which claims that the society we live in and the culture we interact with are already out of our hands.
