Glock AI summary: "There is no journey, no harmonic exploration and complexity, anymore. It's just loops. The same ___ repeated over and over again. You knew decades ago that music overall was on the road to devolving when hip-hop eliminated melody. Key changes have also disappeared from modern music. Minor keys vastly dominate now instead of major but do not sound "sad" or "serious" because traditional chord progression has been corrupted." (But heck, some of the latter expectations were derailed long ago when either jazz "color chords" or just heavily utilizing the minor chords of major keys could undermine the conventional "happy" ambience of a major. Not to mention the intrusive dissonance of flat or slurred notes in blues. Plus, much rock music of the 60s and 70s directly used minor keys and modes even if major keys still overwhelmingly prevailed in total tallies.)
