Did the internet kill music?
>>66012844
It did you fucking idiot. Now people are fucking illegally downloading music. taking what could have been money for the artist you "supposedly" Like. Like enough to steal their money away.
>>66012913
>Internet has been around for over 20 years
>Music is still being released
Woah
>>66012913
did illegally downloading films kill cinema?
It made it better
>>66012913
yet music is alive and well
>>66013037
when's the last time you saw a 10/10 amazing film at the cinema? The only time I can think of in the current decade is Interstellar, which is just a blatant ripoff of 2001: ASO
>>66012787
No. It saved it.
Music was turning into another product marketed by corporations to the masses during the 80s and much of the 90s. Technology and the internet disrupted this. Now there are alternative channels to getting new music instead of just your radio station and your local scene.
The piracy issue is irrelevant. People were making money off of sampled music for a good 20 years before the internet. I bet few people are retarded enough to argue that tape recorders and turntables killed music.
>>66013037
Sort of.
the internet makes art better because it makes everyone hipper. i'm serious about this. take your favorite pre-internet music legend and find an interview with them from the late 80s/early 90s. you will probably find them talking about how the music industry is just about making money, how music these days is crap, how they don't want to conform to what's going on this or that scene, and most importantly you will get the impression that they think they are part of a select group of people who realize this. it is pretty funny. your hero was just some edgy kid who thought he saw something no one else could see.
nowadays if you are paying attention you can't help but come across legions of people who think all the same stuff. you will encounter so many cases of edgy kids that you will start to experience edginess as its own bad cliche. you will be exposed to so much music that you can't possibly believe that 'art nowadays is crap,' no matter how bad the stuff on the radio might be. i really think the internet raises the hipness bar for everybody and elevates all of us as (god forgive me) cultural actors.
back in the day you could unironically say stupid stuff that will get you laughed off the message boards now. people are still stupid little snowflakes who think they are the only person who understands obvious stuff, but you can't just get away with it like you could before. folks are too plugged in to fall for it. if you say something ridiculous you can bet somebody somewhere is sneering about it
that may not be the ideal situation but i think it is a big step in the right direction

It simultaneously kills progression though. Or at the very least slows it down. Things are going to stay stagnant now if the mind blowing bands and artists are only kept in the underground.
Meme by the record companies. Same as the "we fight for artists rights" ploy. Comic books were the root of all deviancy at one point, or so they would have you believe. Have a friend who wrote many songs you all definitely know back in the 80's. Let's just say some of the stories around the campfire convinced me to pirate, because the record company cares less about the artist than I care about the guy who painted my fence five years ago. Real time. Go to shows and buy overpriced t-shirts, that's how you can help your artists.

Interstellar was complete fecal matter and about as interesting a story as Avatar and both fulfilled the purpose of being a prolonged desktop screensaver.
Last amazing film released was Fury Road but I haven't seen many movies lately.

truly this is 4chan discussion at its finest
>>66013579
I'm not. The kids have to have a Kurt Cobain, or a John Lennon in order to step up to that plate. I'm talkin actual children, if you discover this shit in high school it's already too late. The issue the internet has caused is that all the interesting bands have been kept in "the underground" and the pop music has become a little more boneheaded and less interesting. People in these flyover states like mine have no idea what the fuck any of the music we like is. A band that is both progressive and exists within the mainstream is important for the future of popular music, but the internet has built a wall between those worlds.
>>66012787
It's certainly nearly killed one model of distribution. Digital distribution has more or less taken the place physical musical sales, artisan vinyl renaissance notwithstanding. Also shit like bandcamp and youtube and whatever else makes music pretty easy to distribute.
It's like the end of the golden age of hollywood. Entire art forms don't really die, especially something as broad as music. There's definitely some financial uncertainty right now, but that's just because a consistent digital distribution revenue model hasn't really emerged yet.
The internet killed yellowpages, it's at best rearranged the music industry you gormless mong.

Shouldn't you be on 9gag
>>66016620
No. Shouldn't you be literally anywhere other than a music board? You clearly don't like talking or thinking about it.
>>66016776
Go listen to john lennon and cry about how shit your taste is
Or alternatively, listen to Nirvana and kill yourself
>>66012913
yet music is doing better than ever
>>66016838
I never said I enjoyed those artists. I stated them as examples of influential artists that are important. Add reading to the list of things you don't like to do.

You're really in no position to be smug when you can't even master simple reading comprehension and your only retorts are from the /b/ handbook on what to do when you have no argument.

>Last amazing film released was Fury Road
>says interstellar's story was boring fecal matter
Anon you seem to have mistyped there, because people like Fury Road for the action sequences and intense moments, and not for some "amazing" story (they drive out to the desert and back. You also seem to forget that Matthew Mcconaughey is the greatest actor of our time.

This.

>>66012844
yes.
bands with potential to be great have no motivation, they're all dirt broke, the only money they make is off band merch. the only way you make it in the industry now is if youre a beautiful 19 yearold with 12 ghost writers' hands up your ass.
same thing with the film industry, people don't want to take risks with their films anymore because they'll go broke, so they push out fail-safe reboots.

lol can find any music anywhere
>stuck underground
good bait op
did the internet kill looking at computers?
>>66012787
My opinion is that it changed music.
Nowadays people can easly dowload your music so you have to be good in the one way or the other to actually make it.
Though i still hate the most of the popular music.
>>66017509
I don't know about you, but for me whenever I talk about the bands I like your average joe has no idea what the fuck I'm talking about.
>>66017354
>implying buying music ever gave the band a significant profit
>implying services like Spotify dont increase your exposure because people can listen to you without wasting money
>implying that exposure doesn't increase merch sales and tickets which actually profit the musicians

Not exactly. Computers killed music.

Trying to get a bunch of /mu/ into this broadcast. It's all vinyl, and he'll take any requests. I figure it could be a melting pot of all the different musical tastes on /mu/, and be really fucking cool if a bunch of people get on here.
The guy made a thread, but the broadcast is at: http://62.210.251.47/radio/16406/stream/30161
And you can request right here:https://us21.chatzy.com/59909875845885
