But bands do play gigs. Bands do tour. Thanks to the internet I now have the facility to listen to a band and then go and PAY to see them play. In the 70's if they werent on the radio and couldn't get their music to me then I wouldn't go and see them play and ultimately they would be unable to survive, unless they played a style of music that would be accepted by a large commercial audience.
The internet can help these bands survive. Also whats your definition of talent? Isn't that down to the individual? Isn't it down to the listener? Without the internet how could a band who play to niche markets survive on the scale they do today? |

I dont think theres more diversity in music now that the 60s or 70s or the 80s or the 90s. All i hear these days is substandard pop and metal that all sounds the same and fake R&B type stuff. Sure theres always a diamond to be found somewhere in all genres then it gets copied by a bazillion other bands for 10 years, what so diverse about that?

So go look for it. Stop relying on mediums that feed you the same kind of stuff over and over again and use what tools you have available to you to see what else is out there. If you cant be bothered to do this then your opinion on musical diversity is frankly irrelevant.
Just because you haven't heard it, doesn't mean it isn't there. |

It might come as a shock to you but niche markets have always existed, and so have artists that appeal to niche markets, the internet didnt invent niche markets. Rock n Roll was a niche market in the early mid 50s, long before the internet. |

Discussing this with you is like banging my head against a wall. If you can read my post and take that from it, then I give up. |

From what I gather, irrational newbie enters the forum. Only likes bands from the 60s and 70s, like The Beatles, Zeppelin, The Who etc. And decides all 'modern' (2000s) bands aren't very good and music is in a state, thus prompting rational forum members to put them right? |
