“no good new music,” you say???

(2024 edition)

not infrequently, i run into someone who tells me something to the effect of “there hasn’t been been any good music since [insert random date that somehow manages to correlate to that person’s teenage/college years],” or “there’s no good [rock/guitar/punk/etc] music being made these days.”

we know that is not true. the problem is not with the music being made, but with either 1) being open to new music, or 2) finding that new music. the algorithms work hard to keep you in your comfort zone by feeding you the same shit over and over and over.

so next time someone (maybe even YOU) lament the lack of “good new music,” take a dive into the following collection of 2024 Year-End Best-Of/Favorites from some of the DJs at WFMU, which scientifically disproves the naysayer claims.

so damn much great music came out last year. give it a listen and discover your new favorite bands, then support them by buying their music and/or merch on bandcamp or your favorite local/indie record store, seeing their shows, and telling your friends.

and please consider supporting WFMU for turning you on to great new music as well.
