What Happened To The Music Industry?

[Palumboism]

Rick Beato was a producer in the music industry and he explains what happened over the last twenty five years to lead to today's current music.

Today's music sux.

[IroNat]

I think the music industry was always corrupt.

[joswift]

Rap and hip hop was invented to launder drug money

[dj181]

Today's music sux.

It's sucked since the mid 90s although some of the rap and hip hop was good

By the by vigorous Steve is live now on the tube don't miss out it's your chance to become a part of the vigorous crew

I think the music industry was always corrupt.

I recently saw this interview by Darryl Hall from Hall an Oates.  You would think they would both be very well off, but he says they made very little money from record sales. 

Irene Cara who sang "What a Feeling" from the movie Flash dance is another who you would think did very well financially, but she wasted years in court with her record company.  When she finally won the record label just declared bankruptcy and she got nothing.  Very slimy and corrupt industry as you say.

Well the good genres died. Metall and rock.

Then even pop music was better. Today most stuff sounds the same, background noise. Nothing innovative. That or n*g*er music. Garbage..

Stupid White people fell for the new version of "Beatnik Poetry" - cRap and Shit-Shop "music".  Black people should be ashamed of that shit as they are the ones who gave America's musical gift first to America and then to the World:  Real Jazz.

Grunge was pretty good but that pretty much faded out after the mid 90s

British 80s wasn't bad like the fixx, human League, etc

Hall and Oates rock.

You're obviously out of touch

[Lartinos]

It’s propaganda at this point mostly.

There was actually some great alternative made from 2010-2020 that people don’t know about.

There is an agenda now pushing the mumble rappers and Taylor Swift.

They prefer having people with limited talent as they are easier to control.

 What Happened To The Music Industry? Where have they gone?

Like silent-movie stars in 60s' Hollywood
No one knows who you are in the hipster neighborhood...

Sad but true

Here's one answer

WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[MajorDomo]

The music industry has as always been corrupt. I lived in Auburn, NY for a while and became friends with Eric Adams of Manowar. Eric (real name Louie) said he should have never become a musician- all the money is in being an entertainment lawyer.

[Kwon]

Too much niggardly "music" today

There was a lot of peaks during that period, but some fantastic stuff has emerged after 2000 - Lamb of God, Powertrip, Hatebreed, etc

It won't resonate with you though since you don't train legs.

Recently added Perfect Strangers and Highway Star to a playlist.
