Los Fomos

Daft Punk's Random Access Memories was the cardinal sin that baptized retroism. 

everything they worked on prior to that was a fresh sound. even as late as Tron Legacy and even after RAM on kanye's yeezus for example. 

but then their long awaited album was a retroist homage to disco.

i like the album
i'm guilty of liking a lot of this retroism stuff

they just suck because our culture has become a remix of a remix of a nostalgia and we're not creating anything that sounds or looks new

across cinema, music, fashion, architecture, interior design. anything

even cybertruck is a delorian remix

prev founded rocketr.net, swish.id now exploring aiXcrypto identity ai. expired sprint car driver & energy data engineer. idol worship on shoni_eth.X

i think we're talking about different things and the issue is that we're calling both of them 'remix'. 

there's nothing distinguishing today's music from 20 years go
but 70s music sounded really different from 90s music

house had its routs in disco but house was a new thing. this is what you're talking about. 

today's house music sounds like 2004's house music. not much distinguishes them. it's not a house<>disco comparison at all. and we don't really have anything that's fully *new* that had its routes in house.

yes sure and the colosseum is a remix of greek art. the renaissance was literally the remix of ancient styles. perhaps it has more to do with the natural passage of time, as well as the rejection of it. i suppose we’re all remixed nature in the end though
