Date: March 16th, 2026 12:20 PM Author: fragrant well-lubricated principal's office son of senegal Lowery is critical of the internet era and says that things may be worse now for working musicians than they were under the old record system. In 2012, he gave a widely shared talk called "Meet the new boss, worse than the old boss"[12][13] in which he criticized Pandora Radio for low songwriter royalties, claiming to have made less than $17 from a million streams of his song "Low."[14] (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5846392&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310744#49748137) |
|
Date: March 16th, 2026 4:08 PM Author: hilarious gay wizard Pandora royalties are the absolute cheapest of all royalty types. There's a law that says basically if your song is in some sort of shuffle queue it's not the same as if the listener specifically requested that song, so the royalties are extremely minimal. Spotify pays way more than Pandora, and obviously terrestrial radio pays 50x more than Spotify. All top 40 artists get a bigger check from the radio than from streaming or shuffling. But yeah Pandora is going to be the worst. You have to do it anyway as part of your business model because hype and fame is what leads to revenue. You essentially need to get your music to as many people as possible even if it's for free so you can sell them tickets and merch. This guy should quit whining and go on tour.

Date: March 16th, 2026 12:38 PM Author: very tactful passionate toilet seat maybe i misunderstood the premise of the thread. I interpreted it to be analyzing the music made in the 90s with the benefit of time.
If we are including their later albums (aside from American Idiot), then yeah sure there is a huge quality drop off. Same thing with Weezer.
But that's like saying Iron Maiden is a shitty 80s metal band because Virtual XI sucks. |

If you don't like SP, you don't like 90s rock. I would even say Pearl Jam is likely in this category too but they're more polarizing because they were more of a pop sound. But SP is literally unimpeachable. If you don't like them, you don't like the whole concept. You don't like the whole idea of alternative rock.

Date: March 16th, 2026 9:15 PM Author: razzmatazz ocher genital piercing partner fastball had three notable hits. one was a rather dull track called 'the way' which somehow became a big radio hit. the other was a better mopey pop song called 'fire escape,' though it wasn't as successful as the inferior 'the way.'
the third was called 'out of my head' or something and was pretty bad. |

Date: March 16th, 2026 8:34 PM Author: concupiscible hall I really wish there was regional data more readily available from Spotify on these kinds of questions. Eg Sublime nationwide is extremely dated, but it’s basically folk music in SoCal on the level of what Dylan was for east coast/Jewish boomers. Like you expect to hear it ambiently if you go out anywhere near the beaches in LA or SD. I always laugh at the Limp Bizkit Stans on here who seem completely delusional by any mass media standard of measurement and influence, eg you never hear them on Sirius and they haven’t had eg a song included in a massively viral tiktok or the like, but they are still clocking 20M+ streams a month for years now, 2x-ing RATM (which is especially funny given the Kanye style hissy fit the bassist threw at the VMAs). It would be so funny to find out that like 4M of those are just in Florida and 2M are just in Jacksonville.
But the main thing about the Spotify monthly counts is that they are wildly skewed toward post-Napster music, and obviously Spotify’s own algorithm is going to push certain bands/songs because the rights cost different amounts. Via my sons I can observe which 90s bands are still relevant to Gen Z/Alpha and this thread correctly clocks the Cranberries weird resurgence, but eg Nirvana and Radiohead are massively more relevant and well known/actively listened to than RHCP, but if you look at monthly streams RHCP gets more. It’s a certainty that Spotify can sell way more expensive ads on their free tier for Nirvana, let alone Bad Bunny or whoever. |

Date: March 16th, 2026 8:49 PM Author: hilarious gay wizard Why does it cost them more per ad for the chili peppers than for Nirvana. Or what is it? They charge more for ads for Nirvana?

Date: March 17th, 2026 1:22 AM Author: concupiscible hall A nontrivial number of the plays of Nirvana and Radiohead are people aged 15-30, usually also kids who are into guitar/play guitar. A rounds to zero number of RHCP plays are people under 40, therefore they are much less valuable ear drums.

Date: March 17th, 2026 1:39 AM Author: hilarious gay wizard Hold the phone. You're saying that advertisers care more about the 15-30 demo than the 40+ demo? Don't they just play different ads like hair loss and ED meds?
BTW I know a lot of teens and college kids who love RHCP. Kids of friends and shit. They are fucking enormous with the youth demo. Young people are crazy for the Chili Peppers so you may want to rethink rounds to zero. It sounds like you're talking out of your ass. |

Date: March 16th, 2026 9:31 PM Author: nubile messiness abode Well:
Blink 182 - they were a joke and now their songs are literal anthems at sports stadiums and things kids are dancing to at weddings
Smash Mouth - I think they're like the 90s version of Journey - they were over exposed but their music is just so pop they'll always show up in movies. Even outside of All Star, if you put the 90s station on they have "Come On Come On", "Im A Believer" and "Walkin On the Sun". That shit is going to play on film / TV soundtracks for decades for that 90s sound.
Not Well:
Smashing Pumpkins / Pearl Jam - they just haven't had many relevant moments in the past 10-15 years.
--I think the lesson here is that if you're a truly important band like The Beatles and Nirvana, you'll be remembered forever. But if you're not the definitive band, then the people who used to argue about how important your records just end up getting real jobs and kids and stop caring.
Conversely, the pop bands that critics shat on will endure because the music is still really catchy, and now it's retro. There's no one who has the energy now to explain why Creed/Blink 182/Smash Mouth sucks. They're all going to be remembered the same way Journey is now remembered.
If an 18 year old kid likes Blink 182, there's no longer another kid to tell him why he should be listening to Bad Religion instead. |

Date: March 20th, 2026 9:14 AM Author: Razzle Kitty Kitchen this is off topic, but i was in middle school and high school during the heyday of 90s music and was into punk and hardcore. consequently, i hated pretty much every band named itt because i was too cool for the room. (example - in 94 when kurt cobain overdosed, shortly before he died, i saw this sXe band called mouthpiece at the Safari Club in DC. their singer asked for a moment of silence for john candy, who'd just croaked, then said "and kurt cobain overdosed. good." and everyone cheered).
but now i actually like a lot of the radio hits from back then.
red hot chili peppers fucking suck tho, except for "under the bridge." that song is an unmitigated 180. i remember when that video came out, i was in 8th grade and it would come on when i was eating breakfast like every day. it was the very early days of the grunge explosion, kind of before people knew what was happening. not all that long after the smells like teen spirit video started getting played 24/7. it was like "why the fuck are these sorta-punk bands being played on primetime mtv?" |
