they're all the same same same SAME SAME SAME

i buy albums quite often but it has been ages since i've heard a song that is really good, the kind that can shake your consciousness and slap you around, the kind that can make you think about life and death and love and everything else in the universe, the kind that can make you feel so terrible and yet you have it on repeat the whole day.

the albums i buy- rock, indie, hardcore, male singers, female singers, whatever. they all sound the same, like they're singing the same song in a different voice and in a different tune. it's hard to explain but the sound that comes out is the same. it feels like a global homogenisation of music, or something to that extent. or maybe i'm just too dead to enjoy it.

everything i hear i feel like i've heard it before in some form or another. there's nothing new, nothing exciting, nothing groundbreakingly awesome. everything's just nice. i think the last album i've heard that i thought was really great was blaqk audio's cexcells, exactly a year ago. maybe i just haven't had the luck and bought all the mediocre albums, or maybe my taste in music is simply rubbish, but i don't think it's so simple.

it's something terrible and it's happening now.
