Why bands are disappearing: 'Young people aren’t excited by them'
www.theguardian.com
Maroon 5’s Adam Levine was scoffed at for suggesting there ‘aren’t any bands any more’ – but if you look at the numbers, he’s right. Wolf Alice, Maximo Park and industry insiders ask why

I was looking into why I just don’t see cover bands at my local venue but this hits a bit deeper at the issue.

I wonder if how niche music tastes have become has something to do with it.

    I agree with many comments here saying this is a bad take, but I’m generally curious on how you’re arriving to it.

    How do you find “new music”? What is your approach?

      Apple Music, Amazon music, pandora etc.

      It’s all just so…… fake. Everything is auto tuned to shit.

      Drum machines of the 80s were equally shit sound imo. It happens every generation, but modern music seems to have nothing organic about it now.

      I don’t think it’s a bad take, it’s just that verbally speaking, I don’t like modern music. As I said in my original reply, I know there are exceptions, but blanket statement holds true for me.

        one way I tweaked my algo suggestions is by asking the fediverse for non english language bands that I might have missed.

        that opened the floodgates for all the genres I enjoy.
