The music industry is kind of in a rut lately. Musical acts are being manufactured to fit certain looks rather than just getting by on raw talent alone.
It is a shame that a lot of the newer acts coming out now are all basically the same. They are all just little cookie-cutter copies of each other.
A person does not even have to have any vocal ability anymore. Once they get into the studio, there is enough processing equipment, and pitch shifting to make anybody sound like a trained vocal stylist. With Sampling, bands do not even have to play instruments anymore.
It would be nice if the industry could go back to putting the emphasis on how an act sounds, rather than how they look in a video.

It's a little thing called Capitalist society, love. The bands that aren't in it for the money are the ones who usually inhibit their creativity less and end up with much better music. Although there's always the factor that people follow the current trends nonetheless. In the 70's, the trend was self-indulgent guitar rock, so there were a lot of bands that did so. Example: Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, etc. But now as some "artists" have introduced the trend of synth-happy rap/pop, more and more people are going into that. It's prettymuch just a spiral.

30 years ago and beyond, bands actually required something few under the age of 30 know anything about..."talent". Back then, you actually needed to know how to play a musical instrument. Even then, it took years of much blood, sweat, and tears and playing in every dive in the country before a decent band made it. Now all you need to know how to do is synthesize music through a computer and jump up and down on stage like an orangutan and you're a millionaire. Welcome to the new millennium. What a bunch of wasteoids!!!

I think it sucks right now. They are all going after money and doing what everyone else if because thats how to get it. No one has an originality anymore because they are scared they wont make it big. I hardly ever listen to the radio now cause I just can't stand it. THey all sound the same. Especially all that emo (whatever genre it is). They all sound like fall out boy.

A great place for musicians to get gypped and eaten up and spit out so that slang-dropping MBAs who want to feel cool can get wealthy.

i agree with the guy before me. plus, music is getting so repetitive. the beats are the same, the hooks, the lyrics- they all mimic each other. there isn't any more originality. sad, i know.

It's like an assembly line. Someone knows what works and they crank them out like sausage
