Must have missed many threads - for instance, there were quite a few Taylor Swift-related ones, and the “current earworm” thread often has new music in it (I know I post current stuff in there)

But generally, I find discussing new music here is a bit of an uphill battle because of all the Boomer/Older GenXer dinosaur rock fans here. Nothing gets any response. It gets fucking tedious way too quickly.

I mean, I can make a post like [this](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/male-music-lovers-how-much-of-your-playlist-is-female-artists/926011/38), where 70% of the artists listed are _extremely_ current, and … nobody cares.
