Aye, this or Extratone or something.
Things that simply weren’t possible without current technology.
inclined to agree

Apart from TV On The Radio, obviously…
Exactly what I was thinking
And then you could argue that TVOTR were only taking cues from some of the more avant garde four ad acts
Ha, I don’t think they sound alike at all.
TVOTR definitely peaked in the first 20 seconds of I Was A Lover (but that was a great peak on a really great album). Can see the similarities with Young Fathers though…both great bands mind.

Those Grime felllows (know so little about grime it hurts - massive gap in my geekery)
Converge
Beyond the fact that both bands have black guys making music in a white-dominated scene I’m not sure I really see the similarities.
it has to be Mark Kozelek
Most music regardless of genre conforms to the assumption that music has to be interesting to be good. His subversion of boredom, making it a powerful and integral part of his music is pretty original.
St. Vincent and Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith seem pretty original to me.
Holly Herndon’s development of AI to produce music is I assume an original way of producing music, or at least the first or most visible and/or successful example of this.
I’m guessing there may be other examples in an academic or semi academic setting of using say biology to create or replicate music?
This is a great question though to which I have no answer. I wouldn’t even be able to say what the main genre developments over the last 20 years are. Everything feels like a sub-genre now but maybe that’s not right?

Probably those electric cars
