Why bands are disappearing: "Young people aren’t excited by them" (www.theguardian.com)

I was looking into why I just don't see cover bands at my local venue but this hits a bit deeper at the issue.

I wonder if how niche music tastes have become has something to do with it.

That's good! I'm in my mid thirties and I'm always reminding myself "new music doesn't suck, trends change". Just like how our parents hated our music because it was edgy and different, current music is edgy and different to them and that's what makes it appealing to the younger crowd. I don't understand why people have to be so cliche and shit on music, you can both not like a type of music and still not make fun of people who like that music.

lol I shit on music? I made fun of someone? Seriously? Please, please point out where. I made a statement about personal taste, that wasn’t directed at anyone in particular.

I also pointed out something everyone that’s shitting on me (yes you too) missed. The organic nature of music is gone. The organic sound and feeling have been replaced by drum tracks, auto tune and digital all the things are gone.

I promise it’s not a “music is so hardcore/edgy now” thing. That would be rich though.

I understand what you mean, it's a reasonable conclusion for anyone to come to.

sorry if I came off as shitting on your finly crafted retort.
