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. |

Date: January 5th, 2026 8:46 PM Author: aqua travel guidebook ticket booth That's a direct consequence of how much harder it is to actually make a living off music now. And to the extent it's still possible those who succeed are the ones focusing on social media and brand and that sort of gay shit. You think Kurt Cobain forms Nirvana if he grows up a discord addled zoomer who was never exposed to any concept of "local bands" and forced to contextualize from childhood that making it in the music industry = tiktok? He would've thought music is gay and gone off to play league of legends all day or something. The kids have no fucking chance, man. Our generation witnessed both its height and total destruction, which is pretty remarkable (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5817757&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310904#49565429) |

Date: January 5th, 2026 8:58 PM Author: Mischievous self-absorbed associate Ok now explain how random 90s grunge bands like Deftones randomly break out on TikTok and have a moment and the youth get really obsessed with them overnight and you have Zoomers and Gen Alpha kids running around talking about whether Around the Fur was better than White Pony? Seems like the demand actually is there.
You need human beings with talent to make a record. You need capital to invest in something with a low likelihood of working out. But I think that objectively if someone put out a top tier rock record today people would go crazy for it. Besides Tame Impala who haven't had a hit since 2015 or Alt J who haven't had a hit since about 2012 no one has stepped up to the plate. And yes I realize neither are American. Seems like people are just lazy. Stop playing LoL and practice your guitar dummies. It can happen again. |
|
Date: January 5th, 2026 9:04 PM Author: aqua travel guidebook ticket booth The potential to work out as an actual career is the point. Kurt Cobain doesn't create Nirvana today because he sees no vision for its success, and he would be correct. There is no ladder starting on a local level promoting new music. He has nowhere to start except tiktok. And not only does he have to subject himself to that gay bullshit, he has to be *better at it than AI generated porn GFs backed by an expert in social media marketing slop* at it. There is no ladder: you have to jump in the deep end of bull shit on the 1/1000 chance too are both willing to debase yourself *and* better than the people who are experts at doing it.
All that is to say it used to be real simple: make music people around you want to buy and make money. That world and supply chain doesn't exist anymore. Kurt Cobain doesn't form Nirvana because not only are his odds of reasonably making it a fraction of what they once were, there's also just so much more fucking bullshit required now instead of just making music. |

Date: January 5th, 2026 9:19 PM Author: Mischievous self-absorbed associate Kurt was obsessive. He journaled and made collages and shit all the time. Music was his self-expression, he was never going to do anything else. He would have been fine with his marginally competent bass player buddy and some shitty local drummer (before they found Dave). There has to be at least ONE LAST AUTISTIC rock god in all of America. There has to be another Jack White somewhere. You're telling me there isn't even ONE autistic guy left in this country enough to make a great record? You're crazy.

Date: January 6th, 2026 10:59 AM Author: Ruddy voyeur piazza 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. |
|
Date: January 6th, 2026 11:22 AM Author: Mischievous self-absorbed associate There is a lot of consensus though among music scholars and fans that music has objectively gotten worse. It's more than just generational. Greatest Gen obviously didn't listen to early rock and roll and thought it was stupid, Boomers never got into grunge and alternative in the 90s. But cmon man Sabrina Carpenter is not going to hold up to the test of time. It's all egregious slop now. It's not just generational, they don't even play any real instruments anymore and even before the advent of AI songs are written in a production factory in the most slopified manner possible. Music stars today are just people who are good looking and social media savvy. No reason to believe that Zoomer music is going to be around while I think it's safe to say "Eric Clapton" an artist I have never listened to, will still be considered a classic a hundred years from now.

Date: January 6th, 2026 11:39 AM Author: Mischievous self-absorbed associate 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. |

Date: January 6th, 2026 11:52 AM Author: aqua travel guidebook ticket booth how exactly is he supposed to, in a very literal sense, become popular? the fact is the structure of the music industry has shifted radically to reorient around tiktok and the like. you really think kurt cobain is going to be a social media mastermind? can you name zoomer acts who became popular through some means other than tiktok/social media (not counting disney stars or whatever)? there used to be a huge ecosystem around local music and bands and the like which has mostly evaporated. and to the extent it still exists it's actually mostly aging millennials in bands rather than zoomers.
there is just no way that person thrives making a career out of music in todays landscape. there is not some cosmic force of Great Man Music Theory which ensures in every universe of sufficient technological capability kurt cobain starts a great band. we have destroyed the conditions which allowed such things to be possible |
|
Date: January 6th, 2026 11:57 AM Author: Mischievous self-absorbed associate I think it can happen if a band is really talented, which no one has seen in a very long time. Just imagine Geese, but if they were actually good. Somehow we've all heard of Geese despite their records being unlistenable. Now imagine if they were original and exciting. It's rare but it could happen per se.
Greta Van Fleet was another band that got famous without actually being any good at music. But they still maed it. |

He thinks famous artists could start putting out 3-4 records every year once AI speeds up the technology and people can rip hits constantly. But he also thinks it won't replace humans writing songs entirely, it will just coexist. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5817757&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310904#49565750) |

Date: January 6th, 2026 1:16 PM Author: Mischievous self-absorbed associate 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. |

Date: January 6th, 2026 12:48 PM Author: Ruddy voyeur piazza 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.

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. |

Date: January 6th, 2026 1:01 PM Author: excitant multi-billionaire hall i think this is where it has to go, but it's going to be very small and "artisanal" for a lack of a better of word, kind of like a farmers market where they have to smile and shake your hand and give a spiel about their product to make a sale. it's a buyer's market, rock posturing is dead. musicians and the die hard fans are going to going to have to create and support their own scenes/economies to the exclusion of outside stuff. i.e. "buy local". 99% of people will be fine with $15/mo spotify slop though.
