With discovery being AI driven and no credibility connoted by knowing bands - the music industry is in trouble as it has become commoditize to a certain degree. Listeners no longer have as much value or identity to who they listen to as there isn't any real effort to find music (by the majority of people). That and artists needing to make big singles too monetize their work - so the approach to making music is different. Getting a movie/show themesong or leveraging another artists popularity to drive song plays Musical instruments becoming quite inexpensive increasing the competition while the market place is increasingly fragmented. Former gate keepers don't have that much cloud [record labels]. As a former music head it really sucks to look at music from a business market perspective - but it really does frame what's going on. There's a confluence of forces making new music difficult that and you would also think a lot of the items i posted above would make there being more higher quality music.
