people will never be willing to pay anywhere near as much for streaming as the amount of money made through CDs
there's also the loss of the secondary incentives: there is so much old music around now that everyone has instant access to. If you're dropping 15 bucks (in 2000 dollars btw) on maybe an hours worth of music you actually have to choose between new shit and old shit. And unless you grew up in a big city you were probably buying from some place that had only a very limited selection of the old shit. So a physical store cares more about "new": it's how you draw people in constantly. There was an entire supply chain that encouraged the production of Hot New Albums which disappeared the second the user has unlimited consumption power per dollar spent
It fuckin sucks, yeah.

plenty of discord addled zoomers are making music. they listen and create just as much music as previous generations.
the issue is that we're Old and people are dismissive of shit like ashnikko and sabrina carpenter. in the exact same way boomers were dismissive of nirvana, etc.
you're right that not as many people can make a living on it as before. but it's not like the indie garage and grunge bands were (generally) in it for that. in fact the whole ethos was a rejection of music industry corporatism. if kurt was around today he would still have made music, just not something middle-adged men were interested, which is exactly how it was in 1990 too.

Beato: "No one is going to remember the nominees for song of the year in a couple of years but people are still streaming Sting and Michael Jackson in large numbers."
We have to go to the metrics. Staying power is real. The nominees from the 80s sold millions of records, and then came back strong in the digital age. Older music appreciates at a faster rate than new music. There's a preponderance of evidence. It's not just old people whinging.
If you were an investor and you had the chance to buy Sabrina Carpenters catalog for dirt cheap or own Michael Jackson or the Beatles you'd have to be pretty retarded to bet big on new music.

AI is rapidly solving this problem. It’s already very hard for humans to distinguish AI from human generated music:

2026 should see deployment of significantly larger AI training clusters that will permit training of even better models. With extensive RL training, abundant and cheap superhuman quality music will likely be here soon.

I mean I was raised on classical when is that from. Herbert von Karajan. Sir George Solti. Carl Orf. Aaron Copeland. Wagner.
Then I got into ragtime and stuff from the 20s. My parents listened to a lot of motown. At church we were singing from the Quaker hymnal it was a lot of stuff from the 19th century. More yet a lot of our church songs were adapted from shit from the 50s. At Christmas we listened to records from the 40s I guarantee you have never heard of.
To the extent I was exposed to rock my dad only tolerated records from the 60s and 70s. I don't think he had much of anything after 1980. He told me that anything that came after Pink Floyd, Yes, Deep Purple, Can, and Tangerine Dream was rubbish.
I never heard Nirvana or any alternative band until Napster came out. First time I heard any alt rock.

The Absolute State of the AAA Music Industry is dead imo. The Media Wars are over and Streaming wom. There are No Albums. Costco doesn't even sell CD or Vinyl players imo. At Best Buy you may see a Gen Xers fiddling through Sting and ABBA albums. Maybe a Losery Millennial trying find a clearance Nevermind CD. They are in Dead Men listlessly Existing but not Living imo.
One needs only to look at the concurrent Spotify Plays to see. AAA Music Devs are still trying to unload Chinese Democracy CDs for $30 USD while Zoomers have thousands of hours playing Bad Bunny F2P.
AAA Media is dead imo and Gen Xers and Millennials lost their own damn gens imho.
Discuss.

Gen Xer hoarding vintage Stratocasters and AAA First Press Vinyls "UM ACKSHUALLY IT'S A TURNTABLE"
This is why you lost your own Gen and why zoomers would rather listen to F2P Soundcloud Rap rather than AAA remakes of 90s Hits imo.
