So I don’t play video games, but it would be naïve to deny that the gaming industry has surpassed the film industry in both economic and, arguably, cultural relevance. Yeah Hollywood shares some of the blame, of course, but part of this shift is simply the result of time and technological change. Today, much of the cultural conversation seems to happen through short-form video, gaming, and streaming platforms.My question is: Can the same be said about music? I know it’s not exactly comparable, but despite what specialized magazines or mainstream outlets claim, and regardless of inflated streaming numbers, it doesn’t feel like contemporary music has the same cultural weight it did 20 or 30 years ago. Music seems to have lost some of its central relevance, often functioning more as an accessory to a larger product or brand. Many major artists appear to sell fashion and aesthetics as much as, or more than, the music itself.Is it fair to say that mainstream music, at least as an industry and cultural force, is in decline?
oh and how would you fix the absolute state of gusic?
by "most of the cultural conversation" you mean talking to people on the internet. you do not have any friends and you are too afraid of strangers to have conversations with them. of course there are more gamers on the internet you pseud
>Is it fair to say that mainstream music, at least as an industry and cultural force, is in decline?of course it is. its because of zoomerszoomers dont see music as an art form, they see it as background to short-form video content
