Greed In The Music Industry

Music nowadays is manufactured, over marketed, auto tuned garbage. It seems as though everything is becoming safe and easily digestible- almost like baby food. Now you may say that not all music is bad and yes, that is true. With that being said, there are plenty of really good underground bands out there, but my focus is on the mainstream junk that violates my ears every waking minute of the day, whether it’s on the TV or on the Radio.

Now don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against artist earning money from their jobs, but money shouldn’t be the main focus. What happened to artist actually caring about the quality music they put out? Half the time the performers don’t even write their own music. It’s just some producer that gets payed to write their music for them, and it’s still not even good.

It’s all just the same 5 computerized notes played over and over. There’s no longer any creativity in music. Everything is just overly simplistic and boring. Music isn’t really an art anymore. It has become a product. Music is being mass produced in
