The other day I read an article about the resurgence of a music scene labeled hardcore. The article was nothing unusual for the genre, a well-written look at a specific music scene on the rise through the prism of a handful of bands, promotors, and producers. It traced the scene's history, influences, primary drivers and projected future. Since it was well-written, I could tell that the music was deeply influenced by the post-punk and alternative music of my misspent youth and thus would contain a lot of acts I would enjoy. Since this is the age of the internet, the author included a Spotify playlist of songs the author considered representative of the scene, proving my intuition correct. I added almost every song on the playlist to my own Spotify library. And therein lies the hope for the humble human creative amongst the forest of algorithms.
