everyone knows third wave is pretty shit but most fourth and fifth wave is also not so great
i don't trust the emotion in fourth wave, it's performative and their hearts aren't in it
fifth wave is a different story because it's disparate, but the trends aren't that inspiring. quirky & quaint
it's cliche to say second wave had something special (they don't call fourth wave revival for nothing). it had some highs and lows but the highs shine bright. i think it's much closer to what im after, but their common aggregation puts them in conversation with a group i'm not so interested in
im also aware most music will be bad and the closer it is to current day, the more unsifted things will be, especially with the way internet publishing works
