Is Old Music Killing New Music?

Back in the day bands made their money selling records and did tours mostly to promote as tickets were about $10. Now most of the money is made doing shows and the cost is often about $100. The music industry is so different now it’s hard to compare. My roots are the old stuff but I get sick of it from time to time as I always have. I use SiriusXM and tidal to find new stuff acoustic and indie. I pick up new artists from live acts also like Tyler Bryant when he opened for Jeff Beck a couple years ago. Haven’t killed anyone yet though the article is about getting clicks.

Roll over Beethoven and tell Tchaikovsky the news. It’s the opposite way around femoore12. Where ya' been?

that's cuz the old music's from the '60s and 70s was the best out there all the new stuff is crap

@curiousjim It is KCRW out of Santa Monica, CA. They have 2 feeds, the periodic NPR FM one and the 24 hour HD FM one. I prefer the NPR one which I listen to from 9AM - 12PM and also sometimes in the evening, from 8PM - 3AM. Listening right now.

I love this station so much that I ended up getting 3 FM tuners last Sept, Luckily, vintage FM tuners are super cheap and sound great.

This station allows the DJ;s to play whatever they are in the mood for. The DJ's are walking music encyclopedias.

Perhaps older people are just more likely to buy physical media? If it's streaming on a subscription model and people could be listening to anything they want, well, that's sort of a judgment on contemporary music, isn't it?
