The Future of Music

Screen13 · 05-21-2012, 10:11 AM

Jim Morrison said it great back in 1969.

My thoughts on this topic...
Just listen to your own thing. The exposure to so many different kinds of music is great, so dive in. That's the future - Your Choice. Let the Pop Pickers buy into the hype, you don't have to.

The internet has made everything faster, things happen in weeks when previously they would happen over months.

These days I take my time listening to new stuff. I could probably count on my fingers & toes how many new bands or albums I checked out in 2011 & 2012 the way I see it is if they really are as good as people say they are they'll still be around for me to listen to in a few years time.

I don't see myself missing out on anything.

i agree, it is one arduous task to seek out new music that is a notch above mediocrity. i have downloaded, and, deleted so much it grows tiresome. my son helped me big time with a lot of good bands for me, and, i have managed quite a new collection with no techno, rap, or dubstep. if you choose to believe or not, it is in the plans, and, you will be seeing changes coming soon to an illusion near you

Hahaha Jim was right but we are already like 2 generations past that point now

It is, but it's still rather amusing that someone went out and said something that was to be so perfect.

All of this change does not surprise me at all, and I try not to let it worry me. Change always happens naturally.

Jumping many generations ahead. Life on earth may get to that point, who knows?

Frank has hardly been wrong.

I know, going off topic in a way. Just a touch of humor.

All I'm trying to say is that we should not worry about the future of music - just let it happen. Enjoy what you like, don't believe the hype. Introduce and educate if you want to or let the groove take you and your fellow travelers. While there's still life here, have a great time with the Music!

Just check it on Wikipedia.

A lot of the artists I favor still hold up an album over the singles. Animal Collective, Mastodon, Tyler the Creator, Radiohead - all very focused on cohesion or concept, though they may have standout tracks that act as centerpieces or the focus for casual listening. But that's just playing the music business game. But I think i'm playing a small adversarial role to your argument, a very narrow view. I'm going mainly off the first statement as well, so I may be missing the whole picture. Sorry if I am.
