Evolution at work.
The music industry is so much more competitive today, in the past very few could afford to make music, now anybody can do it.
There is so much supply now that bad songs die much more quickly and only the fittest survive.
- seattle_spring 3y agoThe article is about simplistic styles though. There are an enormous amount of "bad" songs that don't seem to die.
- dist-epoch 3y agoHow can a song which is liked by tens of millions of people be "bad".
- seattle_spring 3y agoSurely if you spend any amount of time listening to Top 40 music, you’d know the answer to your own question.
- hackable_sand 3y agoThe art world has a lot of different experiences to offer if you gave it a chance.
- seattle_spring 3y agoDid you mean to respond to someone else? Listening to Top 40 is basically the definition of “not giving the art world a chance.” It’s not like it’s a secret that almost all of it follows a very simplistic formula.
- dist-epoch 3y agoWhat do you think is harder to make, a song which 1000 people like (avant-garde art, your favorite underground band...) or one which has 800 mil views on YouTube. > a very simplistic formula. Go ahead, make one, get 100 million views, make a cool few $ with little work.
