most of these drake-detracting posters sound like the rock critics in the 90s shitting on nirvana because they didn't sound like led zep or the stones, completely missing the point of what nirvana was doing — for themselves, the genre, and music at large. usually this happens because folks think that older music is objectively "good" because it reminds them of being young and carefree and new music made by younger artists reminds them that they are no longer young, have major stress due to mid-life stuff, and their SOs regret committing to them and/or vice versa. i get wanting to hold on the past. as you age the past (falsely) appears more idyllic and present and future get more bleak. but goddamn, y'all! remember but don't look back!
