… or has something that doesn't connect with you. Musical taste is highly personal. I've found music to my liking in all eras, but some eras are bellwethers, and others are lean to the point of being nearly bare. In some cases, the audience selects-out my preferences, and I have to find them where I can.
Often, the music genre is the fault factor. Rock music got stale and hip-hop pushed it aside. Old-time country got pushed aside by rock-derived country. Fusion was hot for a while, then it just disappeared. Neo-folk seems to making yet another run. The same can be said for other roots forms. These too will pass. FWIW, Rock is returning in a neo-form too. Who knows?
Intelligence is not knowledge and knowledge is not wisdom, but they all play well together.
