  • Things have unfortunately changed in France. What are called Centrists (e.g. president Macron’s party) would now be closer to US dems. The right has shifter to nationalist and xenophobic flag waving, trying to survive between macron and the fascists (National Rally, ça. 30% votes, party founded by a former SS and a litteral torturer)

    French socialist party is a socdem party, very slightly left (LFI is the radical socdem party, NPA is the leftist anticapitalist party)




  • There is very good 21st century music, which wouldn’t have come had it not been for 20th century music.

    Thinking igorrr, emergence of gqom (that’s very pop for gqom), post rock emerged in the 20th and has a reminiscence of tripped out 70s rock bands, but bands like thee silver mount zion are also very early 21st century.

    It’s also not surprising we are hitting a barrier after electroacoustic music sort of enlarged the field a lot, the last major innovations were sunths, electronic soundFX and DAWs and these are all 20th century changes. The 20th century saw more innovation than the previous centuries. Fusion of styles, while older, has given interesting merges in the 21st century as well.

    But the 20th century will be hard to surpass, pretty much as by the end of the 19th century classical music was running circles.
