Keep saying it

The death of monoculture makes it almost impossible to truly break new stars in entertainment. Most ppl thought it was talent that did it in the past, when really that was only a small piece of the pie. The stars you loved growing up were talented…but also it was easy to condition you into believing they were as such. There was a finite amount of ways to consume music and if you monopolized that, boom there’s your star.

There’s nothing to monopolize in 2023, and there in lies your issue. Also, because social media is what it is…the facade, the romanticism of the big time superstar musician is gone. The allure is gone.

It’s ‘easy’ to create a star when you can throw them on radio, on 106 and park, on TRL, and condition the masses into thinking this is the next star.

Much harder to condition an audience when everyone is watching one of thousands of streaming platforms and when they listen to music it’s via a playlist on one of a billion different dsp’s and that’s IF they’re listening to music and not a podcast

Yes. This is what made past decades great. The ‘00s and ‘10s made crossing over jump the shark. Country, rap, Latin, and whatever the new “rock” will be should focus on being great by their own standards first

Agreed. Time to strip back and do a new take on the fundamentals

I'm 22 and have been following music blogs since 2007, literally seen all the current hot artists come up from being nothing

You got nearly a decade listening to and covering this music s***? You ever had a twitter account with thousands of followers because of you sharing your two cents on music? You get reached out to by heads at Universal when you were 19, asking if you would be interested in helping them find new artists?

I was doing street team s*** for f***ing Thank Me Later when half this forum was literally 8-12 years old, f*** out of my face with your dumbass presumptions
