Just why can’t musicians today create music like King Crimson? Pink Floyd. Have they no introspection? No insight to our world they want to explain? Have they no more than just a repeat of what they think is popular? So much has been lost because young folk are no longer dreamers…

    Prog rock and prog metal still exist. King Gizzard and Blood Ceremony are two. BC has been likened to a metal infused Pink Floyd but with their own twists. You’re just not looking for it.

    Are you implying that no younger bands are introspective, or share their thoughts in the world via their songs, because your favourite genre isn’t popular?

    Seems like a very bad take.
