does this account for inflation?
but really do you think physical media will actually be phased out to the point where only fanatics even possess a cd? i get that this is centuries into the future but think about the sheer amount of cds that exist

You have to consider that these are really obscure artist that not many people know of. a cd of Duster's stratosphere, for example, is 100 dollars in good condition, and it's only been around for 18 years. Imagine it in 50 years.

>>69375078
We'all have developed suits or moved planet by the , nothing to worry about!

The fact that so many books still name the Beatles as "the greatest or most significant or most influential" rock band ever only tells you how far rock music still is from becoming a serious art. Jazz critics have long recognized that the greatest jazz musicians of all times are Duke Ellington and John Coltrane, who were not the most famous or richest or best sellers of their times, let alone of all times. Classical critics rank the highly controversial Beethoven over classical musicians who were highly popular in courts around Europe. Rock critics are still blinded by commercial success. The Beatles sold more than anyone else (not true, by the way), therefore they must have been the greatest. Jazz critics grow up listening to a lot of jazz music of the past, classical critics grow up listening to a lot of classical music of the past. Rock critics are often totally ignorant of the rock music of the past, they barely know the best sellers. No wonder they will think that the Beatles did anything worthy of being saved.

To what planet will you go once all the stars die-- once the big rip happens, in what pocket of space-time do you think you could possibly hide? When everything's too far away from everything else, and gravity alone cannot form new bodies, what do you think will remain in the Universe?

Just give up, relax and enjoy the ride to utter nothingness (after all, you won't even get to see a fraction of it).

>>69375447
I think the fact that humanity is transient - that everything that we have ever accomplished as a species, the knowledge we've attained, the things we've created will all one day be gone as if it never existed, that's the thing that really gets me. but i think that just speaks on how incredible the power of the universe is in comparison to us

Nah, you'll just postpone the inevitable. A small group of monkeys on a tiny planet in the middle of nowhere won't harness the elemental forces that make up a place so vast and inexplorable we've barely mapped something like 5% of it.
We are not a force in the Universe. Nothing can last forever.

It's actually difficult to predict exactly what will happen, we've never had the internet before and even if the short time it's been around it's been getting increasingly easier to find information on things. History might repeat itself but it's just as likely that all the cultural data we've recorded will remain just outside of the mainstream eye yet still widely available to anyone looking.

The sun will eventually swallow this world of course so nothing in permanent, it's just not that easy to say exactly when the end will come.

Here's a protip: By the time the Sun swells into a red giant, Earth-like temperatures will exist at the distance of Saturn. It may therefore be possible for humans to colonize one of its moons (eg. Titan) which would allow us another couple million years.

Of course that doesn't factor in the possibility of reincarnation existing and that you could be reborn as an alien species on a remote world, or even back in time (like you could be reborn in medieval Persia or something).

>>69375078

this post gives me anxiety.

Folk and all its derivatives will still sound fresh 100 years from now

Seriously. If you like indie folk, you pretty much enjoy all the pop folk/ singer songwriter stuff from the 60s, because while it sounds dated in the sense you know it's from the 60s, it doesn't sound lame

That there are people who say this shit out loud isn't what's funny, it's the fact that there are people who mindlessly repeat it like "scientists"(lol) are an all-knowing unquestionable God that can see the future. That there are people who actually think these same "scientists"(lol) are going to be shaping and/or controlling the fate of the universe.

I've got some really bad news, anon: you're 100% unaware that you're dumb as shit and you're being played for laughs. Sad!

>born just in time to watch recorded music become culturally irrelevant
what do you mean?

>>69379496
You can go on /mu/ anytime and a good number of the threads will be about music from a previous generation. "le wrong generation XD" is a thing for a reason, it's called a "general consensus" which really seems to upset /mu/ whenever it's brought up. Truth hurts, I guess. Generation iPhone's™ music sucks.

But generally music had been in steep decline as a cultural touchstone for the last 15 or 20 years or so, but especially in the last 10. It's not just music but other forms of popular entertainment as well (tv, movies, video games, etc.).

All the cultural energy is in social media and the internet right now and a we go forward it will probably become even more dominate culturally as more and more third world shitholes get on board with the "digital revolution".

You see, it used to be you had to "do something" to get attention. Sing a song people gave a fuck about, directed a movie, wrote a book, etc. Or shit all over the stage like GG Allin used to do. Now you don't have to do that anymore for attention. Thanks to the "digital revolution" you just go to twitter and beg for that attention now. No need to work at writing a song, work at painting a picture, etc. Attention is free now.

Music is already almost completely culturally irrelevant at this point and will soon be like stamp or baseball card collecting.

>>69376067

Nice tip, I'll be sure to make use of this information.

>>69376109

We will kill each other before we ever leave this rock, or at the very least cause enough damage to the planet and structure of civilization to take away the infrastructure necessary to provide the technology to leave. The only thing as strong as our drive to produce tools is our spite.

>>69375717
Assuming that production of music remains consistent, within a couple hundred years the sheer amount of content will be way too huge for people to easily find anything we today consider lesser-known.

>>69381124

So they will end up much like they are now then, yes? There's a lot of music that barely quadruple or even triple digits of people have heard, it'll be roughly the same then. People will dig through the old, find things that match their interests and be part of that niche. Occasionally they might direct others towards something particularly interesting and it will see a minor revival in some sub-community.

>>69381734
Except the "culinary industry" (lol) isn't in decline like music's social/cultural relevancy is.
