What Happened to the Music Industry?

The music industry, ever changing, always going into different directions. And right now, I think it's going into the wrong direction. It seems like the features of this industry are no longer amazing voices and greatly written songs; it's more like auto-tunning and wild personalities. Songs filled with talks of partying, profanity, and drugs.

Let us observe the song "Young, Wild & Free" by Wiz Khalifa ft. Snoop Dogg. Here are the starting lyrics:

So what we get drunk
So what we smoke weed
We're just having fun
We don't care who sees
So what we go out
That's how it's supposed to be
Living young and wild and free

Is this the future of music? Well, if it is, then it's messed up. This is just basically promoting and encouraging bad and reckless behavior. You don't have to smoke weed and get drunk to have fun, my friends.

And then there's the auto-tunning. It frustrates me so much that good singers flush their talent down the drain with auto-tunning. Stop the madness! I'd rather hear a singer's real voice than their auto-tunned voices.

But amidst all of this cruddy music, there are still real singers who have amazing songs and can create hits without the auto-tunned and vulgar language crapolla. Adele, Bruno Mars, Kelly Clarkson... The list goes on.

At the end of the day, this subject is really out of my hands, as it is everybody's own right to choose what they wanted to listen to. I just wish that the music industry will realize what's real talent, and use it in the best way.

  1. That's a great idea. I agree that most of the so call "music" is not enjoyable. Both the industry and the entertainment community have been on the wrong track for a long time. We are in desperate need for a tycoon to sweep the garbage from and inject fresh elements to this filthy and descending entertainment world.

  2. You just have the best points! That is totally worth reading about! Seriously, people should know about this stuff. I read comments on youtube and it's like war on this subject, a lot of war and heat comments. I'm definitely on the side of real music. Heard of OneRepublic? Coldplay? The Summer Set? You got something going!

    What do you think of Rave or Techno music? I think it's crafty, but how about you?

    1. Hi Delaney! Thank you for reading my post, and I'm glad you agree on my point :) I've definitely heard of One Republic and Coldplay; their songs are really good, super creative! As for rave and techno music, I don't usually listen to that kind of music, but I like their super upbeat rhythms :)
