Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

That's awesome you're sharing your love of music!
I have to disagree, though. There is tons of great music from all genres coming out all the time, you just have to find it because the industry has changed so much.
Your Old Droog, Louis Cole, Kamasi Washington, King Gizzard, Viagra Boys, Oh Sees, Deerhoof, Mdou Moctar, Czarface, Parquet Courts. These are just a handful of random modern acts off the top of my head who are putting out great music.
Hell, plenty of talented artists from the 90's (and other decades) like De La Soul and Beck are still releasing quality albums.
Maybe think about discovering new music as a bonding experience you can share with your kid.
I'm not worried about the bonding part. Between music, video games, legomen, and being interested in her life, I think that's the one place I'm not failing... Yet.
Beck is the only one of those I'm familiar with, I just tried to download odelay and whatever and realized he now has like 20 albums, the new ones not fit to my taste that I've heard, daft punk ish, meh.
