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.

@berner99 er, yes, really. I ask because I suspect you are completely ignorant of great contemporary music from certain genres. |
@clearthinker Define "new music"? |
Hi @infection It's really for the OP to define; it was his term. I would define it by release date, not style. I could say post 2009 - giving it 10+ years. Or more narrowly, what's being released now. I sometimes look into review recommendations of current releases by new artists. I am invariably disappointed. It must be my age although, as I said, I suspect a lot of youngsters have move on from recorded music. |
