Yeah that's why I say "poster contest winner", like when a local concert promoter in the jazz/hippie/jam genre is too cheap to hire a real artist and they just crowdsource the art with a contest or one of their barfly artist friends - it's passable but never as sharp as a commercial artist with experience and a good eye.

Mainstream-est music is pretty garbage now, there are a few standouts in the same septic tank with Cardi B's sloppy diseased gash and Billie Eilish's zoned out heroin ahegao face and 20 generic noglords rapping about pussy, cars, and Glocks with varying levels of skill.

Overall though, for music tomorrow is the best time - now that everything's digitized you're not in any way limited to the literal feces the radio and top 40 streaming lists pump out, and there are tons of currently active unsigned/true indie bands in just about any genre to discover.
