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..

The Real Reason Why Music Is Getting Worse

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?

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.

 

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. 

Beato point is not new against old or vice versa.it is not about dad taste or new artist creativity. It is about the manufacturing content of music and manufacturing the complete artistic scene as a factory...

My God!  Some people are not able to understand a simple point without attacking the man or distorting his meaning.

Why am i not surprized?

Guess why.... cool

Gosh deep_333, you really have an obsession with boomers and their music and their opinion of different music.  Daddy issues?
