I don't care that it always sounds depressing; the problem is that it all sounds exactly the same. No matter the year it was recorded, it's always 1960. New artists sound like old artists in more than influence -- they sound exactly like them. The style of writing is exactly the same. The instrumentation is exactly the same. Everything is exactly the same.
People complain about Prog, Retro Prog or whatever and they are right in many regards with their criticism. However, there is no more ossified genre than Folk. It is literally painful to listen to.
