Very funny @hilde45! Boomers are keeping younger people away from new music. Accessing a massive amount of music, more than any Boomer could have ever dreamed of having access to, has never been easier. Get off your butt, stop complaining and find some new music. For that matter, you don't even have to get off your butt, just quit complaining and do something. If you ever feel really brave and energetic, go listen to some live music and buy the LP or CD from the artist while you’re there!
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.

@hilde45, This may come as a shock to you but Archie Bunker was a caricature, someone to be laughed at. The WWII generation did more to spread peace, freedom and prosperity to more other people than any other generation or country in the history of the world. Today’s generation, and I include you in that category, only whines that they’re not being spoonfed to their liking, and we are just beginning to see the results of that attitude in music and life in general. Keep whining and see what keeps happening |
