I think it largely explains the increased ticket prices for live events, which have dramatically exceeded inflation. Essential live event attendees are subsidizing the cost of the digital content. I just hope the artists are seeing the increased revenue.
This is why modern music for years has been what I called disposable music. It all sounds the same, same progressions, same melodies, same tempos, written by the same ppl etc. And music has lost its magic. Back in the day not even really that super long ago music held special places in people's lives and you'd share it with your friends and sit around just hanging out and listening or talking about the new single, cd or video that dropped. Ppl did things to the music they loved, they lived their lives to it. Now these young ppl Gen zers and alpha use it as disposable media to be sifted through like their TikTok shorts and forget as quick as the next thing pops up. And another thing in our world music has become derivative as 1 of 2 amazing bands will create something truly amazing and new, think Misha taking periphery and creating music he wanted to hear based on his love of messhugga and then 100s of other bands copied that exact sound and style of riffing. Same thing happened in metalcore back when bands like your own a7x came out, bfmv etc started getting copied to death. You'll never see another Metallica, nirvana, oasis. You know bands who literally changed music and were as big as the Beatles bc its impossible to make money off that music anymore so nobody is willing to invest in a band and front all those costs to hopefully recoup it in album sales making both them and hopefully the band rich and even more successful. Go back to the early 2000s. There was like 20 big name rappers, pop stars, rock bands. Now there's literally a 100 ppl you've never heard of so again music becomes more diluted.
Music has been turned into a hobby because musicians don’t make crap unless they are huge. The labels don’t do development deals like they did with big recording budgets for newer artists. Bands from pre 2000’s were able to spend time with a great producer developing the songs.
@@EricJaegerMusic They absolutely can. Tons of things have been predicted decades ahead of it's time. Go watch some of their old rants in 2000. Lars and James described to a T the business model that was coming, how the internet would advance streaming, and what it would do to artists.
I’ll always buy CD’s or Vinyl from bands I love. Like yall, I got all the studio albums

That's part of it. Another part is that ticket sales are heavily consolidated as well.
Econ 101: scarcity = value
Don’t put all your music on streaming. Only put your singles and promo material. Treat it like radio used to be.
Honestly not a bad idea except that at this juncture the streaming companies want all of the music you have. Maybe something there though

Please don't make things with Ai.
Member when Metallica in 2000 said this was coming down the pipeline and everyone dogpiled on them? Turns out they were right.
Nobody can predict that far ahead.. but he was right in what was going on at that time.
