The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse!!
I'm not a big Beato fan but he makes some good points at time. This is one of those times IMO. I know some of the younger generation will disagree with the whole premise. Being born in 1951 the boomer gen was hit with the same indictment about the new Rock & Roll music. There was some truth in it. But we didn't care because we liked R&R. I expect the same from some today who like today's music. but I think if you listen you may find some morsels which can be enlightening. This is especially true for musicians who may find they agree wholeheartedly..
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. |
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? |
You completely miss his point about the mechanisation of the human musician gesture which make it more easy to create ready-made consumers products instead of artistic creation. For sure there is advantage to mechanisation of musical process. There is. But Beato point is not negating advantage but to point to a big unobserved problem.
