Maybe not enough "new" music is "good" music. When something is appealing, people find it without it being spoon fed to them by a music executive. Take a minute to listen to what is now defined as R&B. Over processed tunes that muffle good vocals trying to sing poor lyrics. Maybe if artists... focused on making good music and not scoring likes on Tik Tok or IG, there might be stuff people would gravitate to. One thing this article inadvertently proves... good music never goes old ... even after 18 months!!!
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.
