Is Old Music Killing New Music?

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?

I disagree with the premise of the article as well. I’m just about 65, and I started streaming about two years ago. There is so much great music being produced right now that the old stuff, is really starting to seem very old to me. I would say probably 70% of my listening is to music that Has come out in the last two years. And every week I look forward to finding a new artist and I usually do. I have expanded my portfolio a Favourites 100 times over from 10 years ago. I think as we see more people switching to streaming, the old music will certainly not have the status that it once did. And from a production standpoint, I find the new music far better produced and certainly more in tune with the audiophile hobby… in terms of over all sound quality. I still love the old stuff… But there’s a ton of new stuff that rivals it.

Yawn...Same as it ever was.
