> This means less listening to manufactured pop songs written by suits with the sole aim of making a profit
Unfortunately, unless we replace capitalism, this is exactly what you can expect. The veil of false corporate authenticity grows every day, you can see it in the opening sentence of this press release:
"From jazz to heavy metal, techno to opera, music is a much loved form of creative expression."
The statement, while true on the surface, takes on a different tone when you remember who the speaker is, who the audience is, and what their ultimate goal is.
I am excited as a musician to explore this coming age, and I am also deeply saddened and fearful of how things will shake out.
