So.. I agree 100% but this is totally 1990s thinking. This is dinosaur stuff. The entire concept of authenticity has been deleted. Not authenticity itself. The concept of it as an important thing has been deleted. That is definitely no longer a valid defense of anything. That's what we believed in in the 90s. Human architecture, human flaws, mistakes, dwellings, ideas. Shit, it's the basis of western civilization. That's gone, my friend.
When someone resurrects Led Zeppelin, it will be so promoted and splashed around that kids who never heard of them will think it's the coolest new band ever. The songs and avatars will be cartoons. The music - it won't even matter if it's stolen or not. No one will have heard it before so it'll sound amazing and original. This is the depressing thing about the music industry, and it's been this way for 20 years now. Pure manipulation of 99% of people. And the 1% who go find local bands, and go to shows, are locked indoors.
Hoping and praying that some generation will show up who hate corporate rock and love underground punk / hip hop bands ... that's been a losing fight for a long time. But what we do have is a system that finds any band with 3000+ fans and co-opts it.
Creative humans have almost no reach anymore outside old folks facebook networks.
- potta_coffee 4y agoYour take is extremely cynical. I'm also cynical about pop-culture, corporate / media driven culture, what-have-you. But what I've done is just started ignoring it entirely. On the rare occasion I'm exposed to current music / movies, I don't even recognize the current "stars" anymore. There is so much good music out there being put out by random individuals with a laptop and a guitar.
