The present crap is still alive. The past crap at least has died... Makes the past seem like such a better place.
I must say that there is quite a lot of nice new music around... you just have to search more than you needed in the past.
And the crap always wins, because the crap has shareholders behind it. I feel like for every fan of good music, there are thousands of idiots, who follow the leaders and buy music, because the youth magazine tells them so, without even bothering to think, who might be paying the music and who might decide which articles are in the youth magazine and which bands are boosted by it... and why these people are often the same...
Take for example for new music LaBrassBanda in Germany, which are pretty good (especially live)... And without the non-standard music selection of my public broadcaster in one of his digital channels, I would likely not even know them today.

My employer should really offer Medion to overhaul their online shop software... My notebook had been marked as "shipped" since Monday. I just received the email that it now has been officially shipped together with the DHL packet code. Short copy and paste into my DHL App, and yes... a few minutes ago, they transfered the delivery order via Internet to DHL. Notebook is still sitting at the Medion site. :facepalm:
At least now, I can track the delivery in real time, the DHL packet tracking is pretty reliable.
But the Medion order status page is really in no relation to the real status of the order. A bit disappointing for a large distributor and a 1000+ € order...
