Man, finding new artist and music has never been easier. And such a huge variety. While I fondly remember sifting through album bins for half a day in my younger years the fact is, and while I still enjoy it, I just don't have that kind of time anymore. So I find having a few minutes to read through threads like this makes it easy to find new artist and music...read post, select highlight, Command C, Qobuz, search bar, Command V, enter, new artist, click the Heart and my next listening session is set.
Is Old Music Killing New Music?
I ran across this Atlantic magazine article on another music forum. It asks the question if old music is killing new music. I didn't realize that older music represents 70% of the music market according to this article. I know I use Qobuz and Tidal to find new music and new artists for my collection, but I don't know how common that actually is for most people. I think that a lot of people that listen to services like Spotify and Apple Music probably don't keep track of what the algorithms are queuing up in their playlists. Perhaps it's all becoming elevator music.
