What's killing hip-hop for me is people bite each others sound. That used to be a career killer back in the day.

"Hip Hop is not dying - community, belonging, friendship, togetherness and humanity is." š® Wow.. Powerful, and absolutely true! šāš¾šØā

I literally had this exact thought a few days ago. Everything is going to crap..... not just TV, not just movies, but literally everything cars, shoes, clothes, houses, food and something being new doesn't even matter anymore...... this over consumption culture is just beginning to rear its ugly head.... it's kinda eerie because where do we as people go from such an excessive form of over consumption

@GoatCheese72
I hate the whole ācringeā thing. If there are people having fun in a community and are feeling like they belong, just like you said, itās honestly beautiful.

Nobody talking bout the mindreading that has been going on with our algorithms is crazy
@Kflyght
people have been saying "rap is dying" since the birth of rap, mainstream rap has never been where the quality resides and you know that
@ajoshua013
Your breakdown on the sound cloud turned internet rappers era is 100% accurate. 2014-2018 era for sound cloud music and fashion was a renaissance. The drugs these artist would take and Corporations broke us apart. I hope we can get back to an era like that, I'd love to see people be apart of something as big one day...
@Vide501
OH MY GOD!!! You just formulated every thought and answered every question i have been having for the past 6 months or so into the most consise, accurate and well written mini documentary i have seen in a while. You are so right on the money it is scary

What you described about the blinding headlights was a subconscious manifestation.

As someone who studied economics, the choice overload point is spot on. Hip-hop isnāt dead, the medium we consume hip-hop on is just oversaturated. Not to mention the pure toxicity that surrounds online music communities nowadays.. I definitely enjoy music more when Iām not reading through a bunch of negative comments or reviews on social media. Still one thing is for sure, Father Time is undefeated. As Frank Ocean said, weāll never be those kids again. That may sound sad, but itās something everyone has to accept at some point or another. The main reason I had more fun with music in the 2010ās is because I was in my adolescence (teenage years) and there were so many first experiences that made that time period so exciting. Not to mention during that time frame is when most people develop their taste for music, so of course music is going to hit different. Still, despite the fact that Iām aging, I still feel like the music industry and culture as a whole are so exhausting anymore. I think keeping a healthy distance from it and returning every so often to see whatās new is a solid approach.

Social media has destroyed everyone. I've seen most of my friends become shells of their former selves. My group chat is indistinguishable from top reddit and Instagram comments. They literally only talk about media that several million people already talk about and actively hate anything obscure in all mediums. Its weird as hell

The ending clicked so hard. I feel so lonely when I listen to music by myself. Or when I play games by myself. Or watch movies by myself. If Iām the only one experiencing, it almost doesnāt feel worth it sometimes. Thatās why you feel more āconnectedā when playing online games, or games that just recently came out.

Weve reached the peak of all forms of media. There is nowhere else to go
@ditto9922
Getting my own music taste is the best thing to happen to me and originally yes I was essentially alone in my music taste but luckily I have found some likeminded music listeners to share my interests with and itās grea. Ps: I think people that have music taste find communities online instead of in person which is something you mightāve missed
@TheNATOShow
This is one of the greatest videos made in the modern era. The last sentence was a tear jerker, thanks pat.
@AWGEment
This video really hit how Iāve felt for about the last year or so. Culture just feels so dry right now. Im not even past the age of 23 but I feel so bored of a lot of whats coming out. Games, music, fashion everything feels like it has no real soul or difference right now. I really appreciate this video, because imo its exactly what me and many others have been feeling. Im hoping things change but when people say rap is dead, it feels more like music and more is kinda ādeadā. Nobody is going to try to actual be experimental and create their own thing anymore, its just who can copy a style that has worked now.
@chrisg8995
Hip hop needs to evolve. The only reason it was ever cool was because it was a new genre. So after 50 years, who is going to step up and invent/ discover the next new genre? Because currently itās just the same recipe regurgitated for the last 20 years.
@bobbymckeel1034
My girlfriend and I are a good example of what pat explains. Iām a big enthusiast and dig and find new music all the time and my girlfriend most times are playing the artist she already knows or the same songs usually not many new. All the new songs that sheās never heard usually come from me. I will say it is a beautiful cycle watching it pass from me to her and then she plays it when sheās around her friends and it continues
