This is an obvious trolling attempt, but I'll bite. Very simple statistical sample for those interested:
- Go on the wikipedia page for the notable alumni of Berklee College of Music[1];
- Sort by graduation years;
- Notice the "early life" snippet on the bio of most musicians from the 1970-2000.
- Compare those with the bio from artists from and before such interval. Bonus points for taking in consideration how many musicians past year 2000 come from a family with an already existing musical background.

- osigurdson 1y agoWell, I do mean in the context of the article. I'm not suggesting no one ever played in an orchestra. I'm saying that are vanishingly few middle class touring and recording rock, hip hop, pop and country artists and this has largely always been the case. In this domain you either hit it out of the park or go on to do something else. I don't really know what the table of Berklee grads is pointing toward. Are you suggesting that this says it is now harder to become a middle class recording / touring artist today than it was in the past? If so, how?
- JSteph22 1y agoI agree. Entertainment has long been called a "hits based" industry.
