“…[modern music] sounds like ‘a robot singing to a robot’…”
The unnatural “maximization” mentioned in a video comment was posted possibly 20 years ago and by then had already been well underway —

Before CPUs, ASICs/FPGAs, and software were ‘fast enough’ and ‘smart enough’ to perform tonal / pitch adjustment necessary for “autotune” / “melodyne”, it gradually became routine in the ‘mastering’ post-production phase that the dynamic range of audio intensity was ‘dynamically compressed’ and ‘maximized’ down to only 1- or 2-deciBels, versus its natural range of 20- to 40-dB.
This constituted another lost dimension in musical performance and occurred generally from the early 90s onward (though far less garish dynamic compression had been applied during the decades prior, also caused by the inherent “soft peak-crushing” of the magnetic tape (and earlier, wire) media itself). [The former ‘reduction of dynamic headroom’ was called “limiting” or “leveling”, and the latter is a natural side-effect due to natural “magnetic hysteresis”.]
The result of this maximization is that the normally quieter and quietest parts of the performance became homogenously as loud as the loudest parts: Whispers blare as powerfully as screams, which is extremely unnatural in all respects.
This technique has been increasingly applied to all pop and modern music, purportedly so that it would ‘overcome road-noise’ during moving-in-car listening and avoid the same fate as classical music (which annoyingly seems ‘always too quiet to hear or too loud to bear’ whilst listening in-moving-car).
Audio power level graphs for pop songs are essentially all now “solid bars” in histogram display, very far from the drastic peaks-and-troughs evidencing normally varying audio levels.

“Check out the book “Burning Down the Haus” – talks about how the East German Stasi infiltrated the punk scene and bands in order to control the revolution happening there in the 90s. I am sure our government does the same thing here today, in the “underground” scenes…

“Is it even possible for Joe Random to proverbially go-to Hollywood and make it big” must factor the amazing research done by Dave McGowan presented online as “Inside the LC [Laurel Canyon” and in the book, “Weird Scenes Inside the Canyon” which shows military intelligence directly involved in all major successful musical acts. All.
It also must factor in the revelations about “The Wrecking Crew”, the small group of recording studio musicians (and engineers) responsible for what is thought to be 90% of all recorded performances in all modern music.

“Each “reset”, I think, gets “Them” something — millions of souls this time, perhaps, in addition to mRNA-modified downlines, fledgling nano-tech, and computer/networking technologies. These required millions and maybe billiosn of man-years of effort to develop; They need us, to enslave ourselves. I realized and ‘knew’ this much when I was seven years old.
“RE worshipping via cellphones around 1:06:00 in. Occultist John Dee reportedly communicated with demonica via “scrying” and “automatic writing”. Scrying was accomplished by holding a glass or silver plate above a candle flame so that the black soot deposited upon the plate. A quill or stylus was then held in-contact as communing with the aethereal was undertaken. Today, we have similar black screens and if not using an actual stylus millions of persons use their fingertips to communicate ultimately via “ethernet”.
