All huge music fans have Spotify 👊As a huge music fan here and someone who has AirPods in allll day at work listening to music, can collaborate that Spotify is the mother fucking truth. No bullshit everything Tom said is legit. I went premium and never looked back. I’m grateful for Spotify honestly I’ve found some astoundingly good shit on there.

Spotify is a platform. It’s not a genre, it’s not a decade, it has nothing to do with talent or a lack of it. It’s like saying the radio is better than streaming on the Internet.
That said, modern music production has lowered the bar for talent and quality in what is considered popular music. People like what they are fed at age 14. If they are fed crap, they will love crap.
Those with talent are now drowned out by popular crap. A big steaming pile of quantized, auto tuned, millennial swoosh, a a a a c a a a b d a a a a a a, one part at a time, crap.
Spotify helps you find less crappy talent, if you can even tell anymore, because they let everyone on. It doesn’t change the fact that the most popular music today is objectively pure shit on EVERY platform.

...and I guess you aren’t aware, but Spotify is going through some shit right now with artists who are doing their best to evacuate the platform. Spotify is not music. It’s the exploitation of music. So nyaaa.
-
@BrownNote. No one said Spotify was a genre at all. And thank you for backing up my claim that unpopular music is usually better. No one who is efficient at using Spotify listens to the top charts. No one I know at least. Who the hell wants to hear Cardi B?
Artists that i follow who don’t use auto tune are on Spotify. People that i know who make music who are not on Spotify, are currently trying their hardest to get on Spotify. So I have to completely disagree with that. Call Spotify exploitation all you want, I don’t care. It helps connect me to better music that people haven’t heard yet, so therefore, I will continue to pay for it.
Everyone who listens to music more hours out of there day than not listening to music like myself, appreciate Spotify the most. 😁
-
In fact, I believe people get Spotify to avoid shit like cardi b. That’s literally the entire purpose of the platform. I would rather pay 15 dollars a month for my tens of thousands of songs instead of paying a dollar for each song. I’d be broke if I did that.

That is why musicians cannot make a living. I know several professional musicians who work regular jobs just to survive. These are musicians with recording contracts, session musicians and touring the globe. 3 have gold records. 1 has a Grammy. They connstantly equate these platforms to the days when they played small venues. Owners would want them to play for dinner or a few drinks or $100 or worse yet, bring in 100 people and get 25% of the cover charge for the night. Imagine going to an auto mechanic and asking him to replace your brakes for a dinner and a beer.
-
I will give some idea of the level of talent : the musicians I am talking about have recorded and or toured with some of the following: Slash, Great White, Twenty Two Hundred, Uli Jon Roth, Michael Schenker, Yngwie Malmsteem, Sun Red Sun, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Toni Braxton. These aren’t the weekend warrior
local or regional musicians. -
Any music today is all technologically altered. I’d say 70’s & 80’s was probably the time for the best music. Lots of innovation and the music was awesome!

@Peres idk man maybe they don’t like Spotify because they don’t get views on it. All these new underground artists are trying so hard to make a name for themselves on Spotify because if you get a good chunk of views you get a good chunk of cash. That’s why these playlists are great because you can pass around names and get a bigger influence for these artists. Older artists are more disconnected and don’t know how to pull these views, therefore they don’t like the platform.
-
Imagine trying to play a gig thinking it will get your name out there LOLOLOL. This isn’t 2003 anymore. Views = $$$$
-
Right now.
Is where’s it at 😎. -
Bandcamp. Buy albums. Support the artists you love.

A recently deceased friend of mine was a law clerk at a law firm specializing in intellectual property. He moonlighted mc’ing open mic nights for aspiring artists. He aloe performed and wrote songs. He had published 100o’s of songs and listed them on a website used for the movie and TV industrY. Many of his songs were used as background for commercials, series and movies. He did get regular royalties, but not enough to live off of.
-
It was enough to pay for a nice night out for him and his wife once in a awhile or to support new gear being purchased- not much else
-
Another friend I went to school with his sister he was the bass player for great white for once but twice shy- he also was owner of his own digital electronics company for the recording industry. He sold that company a few years back. He made far more from the company than he ever did with Great White. Playing is his passion & extremely talented- but he knew it wouldn’t support him- even in such a major band in the late 80’s. - Anthony Cardenas. Aka Tony Montana
-
Another is a talented singer - John West. He earns a living as a DJ and hosting events. But he has sung for some of the all time great players.

Fuckin typical ass BN. Pedantic as hell. You’re like the guy at the party that walks up when everyone in a group is having a laugh and says “well actually ya know....” and kills the whole vibe.

I support them by giving them views on Spotify? I support way more artists than anyone who physically buys the albums. You can only buy so many of those.Bandcamp. Buy albums. Support the artists you love.

My favorite artists don’t even sell albums 😂 this isn’t 1998

Fortunately, my favorite artists do sell songs and albums. Many of them, even the new ones, even press vinyl. It’s because of the music culture I follow through festivals and Twitter, mostly. They care about the art of music, and not just 1/12 of one cent per play, where most of it goes to someone else.

..But anyway, just don’t walk into thread about the quality of music over time and start shilling for a company that not only doesn’t make music, but actually hurts it...
-And then expect everyone to go:
“wow, man.. Spotify does make the best music of any other decade. You’re totally right.”
Just the fact that people default to Spotify is a little worrisome. You realize there are literally dozens of competing mobile music distribution services to choose from that ALSO don’t make any music?

Best decade for music? Early 1800s. Beethoven was really maturing musically, and Schubert was so prolific.

Music, like any art, effects everyone differently. Sometimes we find unique creativity appealing while others find it strange, weird, silly or annoying. Sometimes we appreciate perfect technique or skill, while others see mechanical or unimaginative. There are so many ways to hear music. Poetic lyrics, great singing voices, harmonies, unique chord progressions, counterpoint, rhythm, instrumental skill and technique, arrangement, phrasing, performance... i can go on and on. There is no best decade. There is no favorite. But there can be personal preference. Enjoy the music. The world would be quite dull without it.
