Jonathan Pageau has a great video on modern art and how art in general took a concerning turn during the renaissance (I think it was renaissance, don’t quote me on that). Once noticed it can’t be unseen. He talks from the perspective of painters but I noticed the same points hold true for music.

When is the turning point for music? 90's?

Likely wayyyy earlier, once the glorification of “zooming in” started. The demystification of the world by just shrugging everything off as having a mechanical cause and therefore not being miraculous. This is down another rabbit hole, but a good start is learning about the difference of the phenomenological or symbolic perspective and the materialistic/scientific one.

Okay it's too early in the day for me to understand this message haha
