Yes, of course, this person’s dislike of stuff past the 90s is the only point and for people like this it means a lot to be dickish about it by trolling others. People who refer to the death of music - at any time - are basically lazy-minded cretins aching for attention.
Bull of Heaven have had interesting conceptual ideas, but the pieces that are meant to last unnaturally long amounts of time (meaning generative in nature) are still conceptual works that don’t really have anything to do with the longevity of music itself.
The definitions are the ideas we’re dealing with here: if your idea of music is a specific something that fits your extremely narrow template and you’re not being satiated by what you hear, then music is “dead” to you and you’ve already lost any joy that you might’ve received in music. Just don’t inflict your lack of attention on the rest of us and insist that we’re somehow wrong.
On the other hand, if you are on the other end of the spectrum and can’t help but find constant joy in all kinds of music and sound that surrounds you every minute of the day, then this is what is really meant by an “endless” music. You don’t ever need to have some lazy drones of Bull of Heaven to keep your mind continually activated when you have such an enormous sound-field existing during your lifetime.
