Why was the studio band/one man band thing so popular with the AOR scene but it took until the late 90s for the punks and hardcore dudes to catch up and start doing one man bands in Audacity and FL Studio? There doesn't seem anything more DIY than getting a four track recorder and playing everything yourself. I know there's exceptions like Daniel Johnston but why did mainstream rock have a monopoly on this?
>>129824271punk was DIY for many from the start. It just sounded like shit. Like with Misfits. Charming, but shitty, technically speaking.
>>129824932That doesn't really answer my question.
>>129824995Well, you mentioned punks in the 90s. But punks were a DIY movement from the start. That's what it was mostly about. Down to cutting their own wax. But they were simply poor. And computers didn't exist. Computers changed everything to answer your main question.
Whether it was authentic poorfags punkers or the trust funders doing it, all punkers were too dumb and undisciplined to learn DIY. They were picked up by labels who hired people to do it for them.
