The rise of social media has killed the art of curation because, these days, things are rarely curated. Criticism is dead (with Fantano3 being the one exception) and Gen Alpha doesn’t know how to find music through anything but TikTok. Relying on algorithms puts way too much power in technology’s hands. And algorithms can only predict content that you’ve seen before. It’ll never surprise you with something different. It keeps you in a little bubble. Oh, you like shoegaze? Well, that’s all the algorithm is going to give you until you intentionally start listening to something else.
