>Popular 90s/2000s rock group comes to city arena>Decent tickets go for $400-$600I've seen this with Nine Inch Nails, The Offspring, Smashing Pumpkins, Green Day. Are they just milking people because they know rock is dead and there soon won't be any arena rock bands left?
>>130530651focus, your dad's here
>>130530651prices are what people will pay and those unc rock bands' fanbases are in their prime earning years now
Most of their serious fans are 45+ and have the money to spend either because their parents died and they inherited money, they're retired, or they have job security. Millennials and zoomers are mostly poor and borderline starving.

>>130530691Damn, I was 6 years old.
Gen X bands are going through what Boomer bands went through in the 90s. Their fanbase aged up and had more disposable income so they milked that shit. I saw Nine Inch Nails in February and there were more middle aged guys than young people
>>130530651boomer bands always overcharge because they think you're paying for the privilege of seeing a legend or something
>>130530716>>130530689>>130530677nice ChatGPT posting
>>130530752sorry incel, let me rephrase it for you>LE JEWS IT'S BECUZ LE JEWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
why do you think oasis and guns and roses got back together, they are milking thier boomer fans of their retirement money so they can one day retire tooalso lol if you think the live music business will survive rock dying, do you really think people are going to pay money to see lil mumbles negroid 30 years from now
>>130530689>>130530716imagine being middle aged and still unironically listening to NIN. by 16 you should have outgrown that stuff.
>>130530752I'm this guy: >>130530689What makes you think this is AI generated? This is literally how I talk. I'm an adult, dude. It's not complicated.
>>130530819Fair, but what if you're hot? Let's assume for a moment you look like Leon S. Kennedy as a 49 year old man. Is it okay to listen to NIN then? What if he fucks zoomers to the beat of Closer? Need it or keep it?
>>130530819And listen to what exactly. Please list me your favourite current bands so I can tell you what a fucking faggot you are
>>130530803I've noticed more bands are doing their biggest album tour where they mostly play their greatest hits. Before they would release a new album and tour on that before getting into their old songs but now they're just milking their former glory days. I think with everything becoming so expensive post Covid even rockstars have to hold on to survive
>>130530752They read like a copypasted Facebook page.
>>130530752>>130531029I legitimately don't understand these posts. Does reading facts upset you or something?
>>130530651Look up Baumol’s cost disease
>>130531085I've seen a lot of variations of that post on the Internet. It's usually something like "Legacy bands overcharge because their OG fans are middle aged blah blah and nostalgia something." So I'm convinced it's probably botted and not anon's original take.
>>130531128So do you live in reality or nah?
>>130531128>this thing that's true keeps being repeated all the time IT MUST BE BOTSYou sound exhausting to be around. I can't imagine being your parents but then again they're partly the reason you are the way you are.
>>130531128idk i assumed these guys live entirely off touring and don't sell albums anymore and that's the reason
>>130531128Humans aren't that smart, most of us are memetic creatures who see things and repeat them. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you it's just we're not _that_ smart as a species. Apologies?
>>130530904>I've noticed more bands are doing their biggest album tour where they mostly play their greatest hits. Before they would release a new album and tour on that before getting into their old songs but now they're just milking their former glory days.record labels used to insist you couldn't tour without an album. bands would put out obvious sloppa like Bridges To Babylon that was just an advertisement for their Greatest Hits tour but they stopped doing that now.
