2022 FLUXBLOG SURVEY || TOMORROW IS ALREADY HERE

 I’ve been making “survey” playlists every year for a long time now, and this is one of the more interesting versions of the idea as it’s basically a document of music culture at a transitional moment as Gen Z artists and aesthetics are gaining traction while Millennial artists and culture remain dominant. I’m curious to see how the next few years play out – will there be a clear tipping point in the next two years similar to how Gen X fully asserted itself in 1993 and 1994, or will the sheer volume of Millennials stifle this progress and largely keep Gen Z culture in the margins? I think you can tell who I’m rooting for here.

As with all the surveys this is a playlist covering music across genres, and I think this is a particularly diverse set of songs. As a result it’s very, very long – slightly shorter than the 2021 iteration, but still over 900 songs. And of course there’s going to be things I left out or forgot for one reason or another, but there’s always a point where I just have to stop adding things. This could easily be 1800 songs, but I don’t think that would actually be useful to anyone.

Please share this with anyone you think would find it useful or interesting! Tell me if you found anything you loved in this – I’m always curious what might pop out to people, or how this got around someone’s blindspots.

New playlist RADIOHEAD UNIVERSE, a career retrospective including solo works, film scores, Nigel Godrich productions, collaborations, remix work, and music by close collaborators Clive Deamer and Tom Skinner.

This is WHAT WAS BRITPOP? 1993-1997, a playlist featuring all the big favorites along with the also-rans and the artists on the periphery. The second image is a preview of the first third, there are 75 songs in the full playlist.
