Commercial Music and the Music Industry
 

hey people its me zinia7 again. i was studying the history of art and i was thinking why is the art of music ruined by comercial record companies. so here is my question. what do you think of those big labels and what do you think of commericial music. please send your oppion if you have questions feel free to ask:laughing:

Thank you for not titling your thread baseball, I guess.

what do you mean by that:confused:. cool ava :)

Lol. Was thinking the same.

Though, thanks to my great sense of humor I have an opinion.

I don't think that commercial record companies have ruined the art of music whatsoever. I think that people probably just haven't searched hard enough for good music. I mean, it's out there. Whether or not it's went viral is the problem. A lot of youth have mostly 'fallen in love' with a band or song because it went viral. But there's loads of music out there that's been released that wasn't ruined by a commercial record company.

This is a music forum. There are thousands of threads about music on here, most, if not all of them have titles that reflect the specific topic of discussion regarding music which the thread aims to discuss.

well thanks for your oppion. could you give me a good example by showing a link:)

Benjamin Frances Leftwich is an example. He isn't mainstream but he hasn't been 'ruined'. He has art in his music.


His Name Is Alive is another example.


And also Sonic Youth.


Or if you're including rock, this is a good track from an underrated band called "Cold". They did this album under Nikki Sixx's "Seven Eleven" label.


There's all sorts if I understood your question correctly. It's just one of those things where people haven't done enough digging. Just because there's been a bunch of Katy Perry out there doesn't mean there isn't a Scooter Ward. Haha.

It's not an oppion. It's an opinion, and it's not an opinion; it's a fact.

Her's your link:

thanks for sharing. i think that you have broaden my view about music more. im glad that i have post this treat. o yea the second fragment is familair because its the same song as th carpenters. i like that song

:laughing:

I don't think the music industry itself is bad, it's what it's become. First, we're being overcharged for music, second, they pull autotune crap on us.

and why is it a fact:confused:

I don't think that the biggest problem is the music industry, per se, as in the record companies, and I really don't have any issues with a band or an album being highly commercialized. If it's accessible to a huge demographic then it makes all the sense in the world to promote it as such. A lot of the time if an album has a huge budget behind it it will be a high quality recording, which is something that I always factor into whether or not I like an album. If you like something that's flavor of the month, that's fine. Music doesn't have to be obscure, or inaccessible to be good. I may, however, judge you a little bit if the extent of your music appreciation is covered by what's served to you by mainstream media.

I have far more issues with the way that music is distributed today. Musicians aren't getting paid what they should for their work. Apple has done more to keep money out of the pockets of musicians than any huge corporate record company.

why are they doing that:confused:

Because it's a factual statement.

Here are some examples of opinions:

-Grapefruit is gross.
-Pigeons are adorable.
-Fred's mom is a bitch.
-Sanford & Son was the best television show ever made.
-that dude sneezes too much.

Here are some examples of facts:

-The Earth is 92.96 million miles from the sun
-The body temperature of a bumble bee vacillates between 6 and 24 degrees celsius.
-Frogs are amphibians
-This is a music forum.
-There are thousands of threads about music on here.
-Most, if not all [threads about music on here] have titles that reflect the specific topic of discussion regarding music which the thread aims to discuss.

oke. i understand youa litle. but what do you mean with jugde you a litle bit if the extent of your music appreciation is coverd by whats served to you by mainstream:confused:. sorry for the questions im just curious

It basically means that the extent of your appreciation is based on what's forced upon you, or what you hear when you turn the radio on. I'll respect you more if you're doing something to actively expand your musical pallete.

i dont listen the radio offten anymore. i search for music on the intnet. i have a more expand music pallete. i like music from the medival, rennaisance, baroqeu, 19e century. i like piano music. symphonic metal, avantgarde electronic music, alt rock, piano jazz, old jazz and more music. im always open for new ones.

Music is Music / thread LOL

your right about that:wave:
