I remember when modern music was interesting enough to want to pirate.
It still is, that problem lies with you and an inability to find things you like from a selection that is only ever expanding and becoming more diverse as time goes on.
It is OK to like a specific era and for that to be your favourite but to claim that modern music isn't interesting is just a shitty take. You just don't personally like it.
While I agree, I'd like to object a little to this:
It's extremely tedious to look for new music, since most algorithms seems to fixate on "oh you like this song? Here, let me suggest all the discography of the artist and these artists that are barely similar yet non or their songs sound like that one you liked" and radio stations only play what they get paid for.
If you like a specific genre it might be easier, but for someone who likes songs instead of genres or artists... It's a fucking pain.
Many algorithms aren't even doing that in good faith, instead substituting in their low-cost contract cover bands as often as they can.
I've even tried some websites recommended on lemmy, not just the usual services, but I've got a similar outcome anyway
