I was trying to think when the musical climate started to shift towards nihilism and away from angst and it seems like it started with Eminem. Without Eminem you wouldn't have Tyler the creator and Future and a lot of trap rap. And right around the time of Tyler the creator and Future you had the Weeknd and PartyNextDoor with their own brand of nihilistic r&b music.
