Music is patterns.
Either with rhythm, or with melodic context, or with textures & sound design.
Genres change but the math stays the same, and ideas get rediscovered.
Everything that’s new was once already old. Truly, there’s awesome music in every Subgenre or any pattern-subtype. For example I specifically like drum breaks. Not only do I like nu metal or other 2000s stuff, but also I probably would have enjoyed James Brown back then just as much as I am in love with dnb and drum step today. And I’ll enjoy the newer kinds of hype pop that experiment with that.
What I’m saying is, it’s easy to be negative about something just because you’re bored by it, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad. Maybe you need to find new aspects of it to enjoy, like a new genre or different patterns, or it’s time for a different hobby. But talking down on a whole art field is not fair.
