Has new music gone down the tubes?

The demand for "old" music grew 14% in the first half of 2022 while the demand for new music dropped 1.4%. In the streaming world "old" music represents 72% of the market. Why does new music seem to be so bad compared to old/classic music?

I go though youtube sometimes and kids post videos of the first time they hear classics like the beatles, bob dylan, whatever and inevitable jaws drop. The music companies keep rereleasing old albums in new formats. Is it because todays artists just can’t "git er done"?

Research right channels and you will find overwhelming flow of great new music every day. New, new, new and more new just like that. New band, new album, new artist, new instrument, new orchestra, new album...

Mass media makes us all deaf and blind, but there’s GREAT music and it’s coming back to the streets as well so quit complaining!

What I finally see hear -- everyone mentioning Taylor Sfift, Beetles, Sinatra etcetra... Folks ya'll never heard good music so quit complaining as well!!!
