The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!!

You completely miss his point about the mechanisation of the human musician gesture which  make it more easy to create ready-made consumers products instead of artistic creation.

For sure there is advantage to mechanisation of musical process. There is. But Beato point is not negating advantage but to point to a big unobserved problem.

I had to quit at the "Music is too easy to make". That means that people that have a talent to create music but not the technical skill to play an instrument now have an opportunity to create unique great music. 

So, while that may have caused flooding of the music scene with not good, it is hard to believe that it hasn't enabled a bunch of great music to be created by non-instrument playing folks. 

Beato point is not new against old or vice versa.it is not about dad taste or new artist creativity. It is about the manufacturing content of music and manufacturing the complete artistic scene as a factory...

My God!  Some people are not able to understand a simple point without attacking the man or distorting his meaning.

Why am i not surprized?

Guess why....

Gosh deep_333, you really have an obsession with boomers and their music and their opinion of different music.  Daddy issues?

I dont listen music because it is old or new but because it is good... Josquin desPrez is good and Bob Dylan too...

Music for me is not just the consumation of always new products one after the other... It is more exploring to discover something i will kept listening till death.

Then your sentence reveal that you listen music as a distraction from boredom then it takes always something new...All classical beautiful songs from the 60 &70 has nothing to do for you.

I myself half the time listen for the hundred’ th time what i love from any era since Gregorian chants till today...I dont use music as a consumer product to kill silence but as a sacred emotional experience...

Good music has nothing to do with his country of birth or his date of birth...

Bob Dylan was a genius then and is today..

I just discovered last week a promising new artist... But it is not so often... I ask if not genius true free creativity...

In a word i want if not ectasy pure artistic genius why less ?

I’d be happy to never hear music from the ‘60 and ‘70’s ever again. The newer the music, the more I’m interested in it.

While the gravitational pull here is music, looking beyond that subject, the video is easily applied to ALL marketing.  The generification of food, clothing, cars and tract housing speaks to data smoothing in search of replicable product that maximizes sales/profit with minimal corporate effort.

Many traveling far from home will still look for familiar franchise food in lieu of something regional, interesting and particular to the culture.  Eating at McDonald's while in Denmark.  Looking for Taco Bell while in Argentina.  Really?

People are by nature not risk takers, seeking the familiar.  They even practice it in travel, touching on only what's found in the brochure.  People are tribal and travel in support of that.  Cruises dumping 5,000 at a time on a port so they can find expected.  People do not like surprises.  They like easily digestible music.
