Your Music Industry

12Jun08

Maybe the lack of direct information from a huge music resource like MTV will actually hold the attention of music fans rather than give them a heads up on featured groups. If people are aware of too much happening with their favorite artists, the music industry might lose its element of amazing audiences…Oh no! Instead of introducing artists to a few individuals who are a step ahead, the music industry appears to want to return to being ethical, democratic, and losing some of its exclusivity.

In addition, this change will eliminate much of the classifications of music, as well as generalizations of music fans themselves. Special treatment privileges and behind the scenes knowledge of new projects and concerts is beginning to be part of the past.

In a way this is good because it will level audiences out, and put everyone on the same shelf of knowing what’s going to happen. It will make people work to be fans, rather than be caught up by all the hyper people who don’t realize they are just dazed to be part of everyone else’s idolatry of bands or artists because they are popular.

Is music today a reflection of culture, or reflection of a society of young people starving to hear musical talent? As interests change and artists come and go, a wave of uncertainty hovers over the music industry right now. Its forecast looks clear for new artists like Colby O’Donis, Fergie, Chris Brown, Chris Daughtry, Amy Winehouse, and Young Joc, but leave thousands hesitant about investing passion in the sturdiness of today’s music to endure the bursts of fresh new music that fans run to.
