The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!!

The arc of music like literature, art, and architecture has been bending upward since the dawn of time, so I don’t understand the premise of the video.  As a boomer, I’d be happy to never hear music from the ‘60 and ‘70’s ever again.  The newer the music, the more I’m interested in it.

He sounds like people of my parents' generation moaning about the Beatles and and that new rock and roll stuff - 'that's not music! That's screaming!' -  when they first came on the scene, and why can't the kids like Perry Como and Dean Martin like they do? That's real music....

+1 @larsman .  My Dad really liked the Lawrence Welk show, but he didn't seem to have any use for much else.  Nothing that I liked, anyway.

In my opinionRick is correct.  So what is good music?  You need to be able to write a song that will tell a story, play an insturment(s) to convey the message, have the music well recorded, mixed and mastered.  If you think that you can sit at laptop with a variety of plug in's and make a decent song / recording, it's not going to happen.  The music will always be artificial and without any soul.  If you're lucky, you have had some music training including songwriting.  If not you will be lost. 

I don't stream because it doesn't sound as good as hard media and the artists get ripped off.  My brother has a real recording studio and we can count on one hand how many "musicians" have had the perequisites listed above to be successful.  When they do, you do a proper microphone setup and let them play.  It's a pleasure to record them instead of a painful process in ProTools of cuting and pasting segments together because they don't know how to play their insturuments or sing with a crappy song.     

I had to quit at the "Music is too easy to make". That means that people that have a talent to create music but not the technical skill to play an instrument now have an opportunity to create unique great music. 

So, while that may have caused flooding of the music scene with not good, it is hard to believe that it hasn't enabled a bunch of great music to be created by non-instrument playing folks. 

All the talented new artists have everything rigged against them (w.r.t marketing/recognition)....cblocked by a whole lotta boomer bozo artists who’ve already had the marketing in place for a few decades.

Any young music lover looking at a specific genre is forced to look at some untalented boomers placed front and center at the record store. All the high caliber youngins never get looked at, i.e., a stinking shame.
