The only thing that is saving music right now is in the internet, the indie music scene. I watched this documenatary and felt it could have been 2 hours longer. It's awesome and skims the surface of the current condition of music.
Seeing those kids talk about Ashlee Simpson is like having an arm amputated.
Interviewer: "Were you inspired to do anything?" Kid: "Huh?"
Good music has died, and is still dying, I'm afraid. How? Through ignorance, and by cut-throat tactics from greedy folks in the industry who move people into obscurity. The music that we like that we CAN hear hasn't died. But for every one artist that we love, there are 4 out there that we haven't heard of, because exposure in the school system, the media--and consequently, in the home--has been shut down.
personally i believe that good music will never die.. just because u don't see it on mtv doesnt mean it's non-existant..there are so many talents around u just have to watch for them. music business is a tricky one and i respect the artists who are able to combine the worldwide success with stayin true to their music and not making media clowns of themselves..
There is a ton of good music out there. To name a few, there is the black keys, blakroc, slightly stoopid, the roots, state radio, placebo, iron and wine, and dan auerbach. In terms of popular musicians that are still good, there is basically only mos def, kid cudi, lupe fiasco, kings of leon, and matchbox 20.
