The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!!

In my opinionRick is correct.  So what is good music?  You need to be able to write a song that will tell a story, play an insturment(s) to convey the message, have the music well recorded, mixed and mastered.  If you think that you can sit at laptop with a variety of plug in's and make a decent song / recording, it's not going to happen.  The music will always be artificial and without any soul.  If you're lucky, you have had some music training including songwriting.  If not you will be lost. 

I don't stream because it doesn't sound as good as hard media and the artists get ripped off.  My brother has a real recording studio and we can count on one hand how many "musicians" have had the perequisites listed above to be successful.  When they do, you do a proper microphone setup and let them play.  It's a pleasure to record them instead of a painful process in ProTools of cuting and pasting segments together because they don't know how to play their insturuments or sing with a crappy song.     

I had to quit at the "Music is too easy to make". That means that people that have a talent to create music but not the technical skill to play an instrument now have an opportunity to create unique great music. 

So, while that may have caused flooding of the music scene with not good, it is hard to believe that it hasn't enabled a bunch of great music to be created by non-instrument playing folks. 

All the talented new artists have everything rigged against them (w.r.t marketing/recognition)....cblocked by a whole lotta boomer bozo artists who’ve already had the marketing in place for a few decades.

Any young music lover looking at a specific genre is forced to look at some untalented boomers placed front and center at the record store. All the high caliber youngins never get looked at, i.e., a stinking shame.

Every generation thinks their music is the best because it’s personal and it means something to them.  As I get older I realize my thinking that my music was the best when I was younger and everything else wasn’t was myopic.  I like some of the music my kids like.  I try to keep an open mind and keep checking out new music.  Old dogs can like new music.  

My brother has a real recording studio and we can count on one hand how many "musicians" have had the perequisites listed above to be successful.

On one hand, @goose ?  I have to assume that you are only referring to the new artists/musicians that have used your brother's studio?
