Is Old Music Killing New Music?


I ran across this Atlantic magazine article on another music forum. It asks the question if old music is killing new music. I didn't realize that older music represents 70% of the music market according to this article. I know I use Qobuz and Tidal to find new music and new artists for my collection, but I don't know how common that actually is for most people. I think that a lot of people that listen to services like Spotify and Apple Music probably don't keep track of what the algorithms are queuing up in their playlists. Perhaps it's all becoming elevator music.

Of course it's about tastes. The same music may be hated by one person and loved by another, and that says nothing about the music but rather about the tastes of the people involved. I'm 70 years old - I do not need 'education about my own listening habits'. 

Sorry but you are already dead perhaps... I am not...I am 70 year old and i NEED new listening experiments...

Discoveries is my bread and wine....Enlarging my soul...

Try erhu chinese music it will help you coming out of your little planet...This music has a heart of his own...

I like new musical instrument...

Try the rudra veena one of the most sacred instrument in India...

Tastes exist, i have my own, but tastes are LIMITED and secondary why?

Because they can be enlarged by listening experiences save for crocodiles and other consumers where they stay fixed till death....

Try a new life....By a Persian master....Instead of a rockstar or instead of Mozart...It is a suggestion for the young soul in this old body....
