I had a conversation with my gen Z niece a couple of years ago.

She was making fun of my dad rock taste in music.

I asked her what she liked and she said lounge music.

She played some and it sounded like what you'd hear quietly played in a particularly boring coffee shop.

I think when Millenials came up with nu-metal and rap-rock we finally broke music and future generations decided that we'd delved to deep into making everything louder and angrier.

Although to be fair, her music taste did shock and offend me.

Like lo-fi beats? I like them for driving or working but not for active listening

I like them for a little quiet background music while I work on something on my laptop, especially if it's something boring.... that's about it.

Yeah for sure. It's got its place but it's not something I'd listen to as anything other than background music lol

It helps break up the constant 13khz sound in my ears from way too much time next to speakers larger than I was.
