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"?
@tylermunns I am a huge Reggae guy and appreciate your post. I am the same about most Rap music but do not condemn it, it is just not for me. I will say there is plenty of new good music out there. It’s the age old argument “ they just don’t make music like they used to” Rubbish! |
