“Tribal Music” isn’t conducive to maximum profits is one way to put it.
What’s wrong with Tribal Music?
I’m just the opposite. I can’t fathom people with such a myopic approach to life.
I gave up long ago, even before Dolly Parton was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
I dunno. I dabbled in a great many tribes back in the 70s and 80s. Didn’t seem like a big deal to switch from one thing to another. But what I liked is that you tended to have a basic understanding for where one group fit in relation to another. The band Yes? Progressive. King Crimson? Also Progressive. Sex Pistols? Punk. Blondie? New Wave. Donna Summer? Disco.
Today, the stuff on the radio just seems like “radio music”.

AI was born quite awhile ago.
As I got bit older, from a distance I’d watch these people turn into zombies and in unison go ape sh*t cuckoo at concerts, screaming, drug themselves into stupors and do all kinds of weird stuff...Then I thought, wait a minute, all these people are doing the big chicken over sound...Like a pied piper came along and suddenly all these people allowed this “Sound” to take them away, (pun intended) sometimes for good. It’s just noise, some of which sounds like the inside of a machine shop.
Very odd.
I’ve listened to all types of music, but now I only like the music that’s playing in Middle Eastern/Indian taxis in the movies.
My YMCA plays “SiriusXM:Classic Vinyl” in the weight room, stopped bringing my iPod. I still enjoy the music I grew up with. Maybe that’s why the kids have a wider range of likes, so much more available to them.

Maybe rap the only exception but I can tolerate the occasional Run DMC or Beastie Boys.
When folks are at my house they listen to Blues, Classic and Southern Rock... my house my rules. Never loud, just background music. (unless it’s just me)
Overheard one couple saying “It sounds like we’re at a biker rally.”
I just said “Awesome music ain’t it.” Caught em off guard !!
I was born in 1958. I’ve always listened to whatever I pleased. I liked Hard Rock but listened to the entire 20th century.
This argument makes sense since today’s “music” all suffers from exactly the same level of suck.
Radio is dead, it just doesn’t know it yet.
Streaming services are cheap and have virtually any music you can imagine on tap.
Genres as a whole should go away. They’re always silly. They serve mostly to argue about who’s in what genre. It’s just music. Or books. Or movies.
Pretty much every song you hear sounds the same.
