MTV killed the music industry and rap music was their finest shill

It literally only "killed" the garbo-pop scene

It also exploded the CP industry, by fucktard edgelord kids sharing shit by renaming files.

>>134132604

I dont think you meant to reply to me. However if anything, it killed the small independent guys, the smaller local bands, etc. It forced a "produce a hit every single time" mentality in the industry while pushing popular music at the same time as subverting "fringe" music

>>134132159

You don't know shit about the music industry.
Artists always ended up broke unless they were the kikes' golden boys. Nothing has changed.

>it killed the small independent guys, the smaller local bands
It didn't really tho. there is more than plenty independent music acts now. Besides, bands get most of their money through merch and live shows(if they are well known enough) . Also a lot small bands themselves give their music for free in digital format and physical formats (such as vinyls, CDs, cassettes) still sell because there is a niche market for it. Also, pirating music can help bands to get known to the rest of the poorfags who can't afford to listen to their shit.
So if pirating music were to hurt anyone it would hurt the big guys the most

>>134134180
You should take a look at an artist like Jason Aldeen and his fight against Spotify. He has shown royalty checks from both radio and Spotify... Where do you think that "extra" money went? Certainly not to him. Despite being one of the best selling country artists of the 20th century

>>134132159
that sounds pretty great

>>134133966

I agree, but in this case it was 100% true. The music industry is run by Jews. And these Jews were fed anti-white Marxist propaganda at the ivy league universities which are also run by Jews:

https://thezog.wordpress.com/who-controls-the-ivy-league/

Do you see why people think we're controlled by Jews? Because they make up so many senior executive positions and they were all indoctrinated and taught "white people are responsible for the world's problems and Marxism is the answer" at Jewish-controlled universities.

LOL I remembered the time Soulja Boy stated that Crank That become popular when he renamed his song after popular songs at the time like 50 Cent and Britney Spears and people downloading the songs via Napster was actually listening to Soulja. Luckily, the song was good so it go around everywhere fairly fast. Next, thing he knew he was No. 1 on the Billboard Charts for 7 Weeks!!

The second we had the capability to send files over the internet, the music industry was dead. Napster simply pulled the trigger. Blame the music industry, run by old men too arrogant to realize they couldn't do business the way they'd done it since the phonograph was invented. They should have realized the mass distribution potential of the internet when it became popular. Blockbuster Video made the same mistake.

But those are mostly the big labels runned by the big kikes anon. There are a ton of independent labels are more fair to the artists and small guys. Artists can still sustain themselves and have high critical recognition without million dollar checks or hitting top 25 on Billboards

It's pure capitalism like it or not. You don't agree with the ethics behind it maaannnn. Due to music streaming we have more access to more varieties and catalog of music then ever before. As for the artist, if you think getting involved in an art form is a sure way to financial well being you're retarded a very small percentage reach that level. I know plenty of musicians who recorded an album and have it on spotify or iTunes which enables them to reach a world wide audience. Also cd's and vinyl still exist it's just not as profitable.

>>134135258
>Also some CDs costing $20-$30 is obscene.

>>134135109

Well the thing is, rich whites really are spreading anti-minority messages, so blacks and Hispanics are not wrong in that sense. Meanwhile, rich Jews are spreading anti-white messages. We're all controlled by the richest 1%, but the Jews are the ones who control the music industry and they're the ones who want to see white society suffer. So the music industry is anti-white.

Music industy refused to sell digital copies enough though the kids (biggest buyers of music) knew it was the future. Took them over a decade to catch up and only because Steve jobs forced them to wake up.

Perhaps that is a beacon for why the "world" shouldnt buy shit until the US adopts it. There are 3 countries that matter. The US, Russia, and China. 2 of the 3 are too poor to buy anything.

>>134135580

If you decide to make music a full time career overnight you are simply retarded. No one decides to be musician and drop their job instantly. Equipement and touring cost money and you don't have any you won't get anywhere. Independent artists had always to struggle from that since the beginning. So if someone nowdays want to get themselves known so the can make creating music their full career, they'll have to distribute their stuff digitally and make it available to the public to consume. Times change and so rules get used to it.

It was all so exciting. I would often buy CDs and be pissed off bc teh whole things sucked.. but then I discovered some really great stuff.

the free market decides what each person's skill set is worth and pays accordingly. This is as much the case with artists as it is with scientists and McDonald's employees.

lol what, not challenged? you seem to be the challenged one here posting so vigorously
I'll elaborate on my previous statement; nobody cares about you or your cause, but furthermore, people who don't pay for music in-general do it being aware that there is a legit way to get the media they desire, but disregard that and follow-suit on sites like KickassTo, YoutubetoMP3, and so on.
You're wasting your time here more so than I am by defending an absurd idea. Yes, paying $20 sweat-earned dollars for a list of songs is absurd, but that gets into a bigger picture there of how the economy is fucked.
*yawn*

Nigger do you know what it was like buying music in the 90's? $17+ CD, can't return once seal broken. Couldn't listen to the shit beforehand (in the late 90s you could scan a cd on a machine and hear 20-30 seconds of a highly compressed track). No international selection in brick and mortar retail stores. Despite what you think of Apple, they were instrumental in bringing down the accepted price of an album in any format after the advent of napster. Music has become a side sale to touring acts. Apple also sports a lossless format option to boot.

>>134138278

Used CD (and book/vidya/DVD) stores were and are where it's at for physical media. Best bang for your buck. Good selection, cheap enough to try out a couple of things. Good return/trade policies. Only sucks if you wanna sell something for cash. Otherwise all win.

How could the Music die if the Music industry was always a FAKE psyop for the CIA the entire time?

Now I know that's a fuck ton of shit to read, but if you do, you won't believe in the (((MSM))) mind kontrol entity called "the Music Industry" ever again.

The whole damn thing was a social engineering progrom by the CIA as part of MKULTRA and MKCHAOS from their Lookout Mountain Observatory in Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles in 1967.

That's the only place I used to shop for physical media. Had a great one in the mid '90s I used to go to, and the owner was a really great guy. Half Price Books is pretty good now, though.
I honestly wonder how it's possible for Best Buy to still be in business.

>>134132159

Yeah. I've got one of those in my area but we also have another local outfit in town and they're better (several locations too). Like I saw a famicom there recently. Comics, toys, magic the gathering faggots whole nine yards.

Best Buy is in business from hardware (consoles, tvs, audio etc) and bundled software licenses (all computers they sell). The media is more a side gig for them.

Looks like he's on an independent label, who was later bought out by BMG, so it could be that. What is in Spotify's contract, was it signed by Aldean or his label? Plus the fact out of his seven albums and 100 or so songs, he's only credited with co-writing three.

Frobes says his 2015 income was $43 million. How big are his royalty checks? I'm sure songs written by others doesn't help income that much.

I'm just surprised people buy hardware there considering you can get a better deal online most of the time, and you don't have to worry about the upsell schtick. One thing I will say nice about them, my kid wanted a Switch for his birthday and they actually had one in stock, first time I've bought something from them in a very long time.
I don't know how your Half Price Books is, but the one around here carries up to and including old Atari 2600 games. I wish there were a locally owned alternative, but it's still pretty good.

Musicians COULD have recovered SOME of their lost revenue if they also produced and sold their music on vinyl records.

There are a lot of audiophiles out there like me who'd still pay for the smoooooth, analog, natural, warm and infinite sound of vinyl.

Vinyl sounds better than digi-crap.

440 vs 432 is a fucking joke, it has nothing to do with anything besides a slight change in pitch. The difference in tunings is their intervals, not their absolute frequencies.

The real crime is in tuning intervals. We use equal temperament, which just means intervals are always spaced evenly across the board according to the same ratios. This results in the tuning being out of tune, but since it's all equally out of tune, it sounds in-tune.

It makes me want to choke people every time I hear that Pythagorean tuning is 432. No it isn't, the starting pitch means nothing, it's intervals using perfect fifths. Playing music with traditional and mathematical tunings always sounds better, and while they do have their flaws, modern music is worse for not using them.

Hey, makes sense, and I'm not surprised. I think I'm in the minority when it comes to buying expensive tech online based on other people's opinions. If you have a Microcenter or Fry's in your city I highly recommend them over Best Buy. Much more knowledgeable sales people, better prices, better selection. If I have some obscure connector I need at 6pm, I can guarantee I'll find it at one of those two stores.

>>134140138
It's a reference pitch, not a starting pitch. Spiral of fifths versus circle of fifths. I like what microtonal music I've listened to at least.
>>134140094

Equal temperament was a not good for contra- puntal music - it makes it too bland.

With Unequal temperament, each key had a distinct character.

Yeah, that's stuff I'd order online. I used to love them back before the internet though. Ours went out of business not too long ago too. Microcenters online prices are pretty good if you are ever looking for stuff. I was in the market for a laptop with specific specs a few years ago and needed it that day, they actually had it in stock for cheaper than online.

Don't pay for Jew Media. Download it and make it easy for others to download. Even if you only spend your shekels on "good" music, movies, games ect the same holding companies will reinvest at least a part of that money into degeneracy.

Right now you can record an award winning album in your bedroom and distribute it to the entire world for essentially nothing

You know why nobody does this?

Because most people are mediocre musicians and do it for the wrong reasons. They expect to put in the bare minimum, get a Facebook and Soundcloud page up, and expect the masses to worship them because they made a thing

There are literally no excuses for a musician these days to be broke or struggling unless they are shit and their talents aren't that great

As a musician myself I can say honestly that musicians are probably the laziest fucking people on earth and among the most entitled

The ones that dedicate themselves to their art and their craft are considered "stuffy and lame". Soundcloud rappers get more praise

I guess my point is fuck off and git gud, I've had enough of entitled (((artists)))

From an economic perspective, being a musician is a very high risk strategy, with an overwhelming chance that even if you are one of the few musically brilliant, you will spend most of your life making less than minimum wage per hour.

It may seem different, because the occasional gig seems to pay really good per hour, but you forgot to factor in the scarcity of such gigs, as well as all the hours to be able to do that gig.

>>134158194
Guitar player here. You're right. When you factor in the hours that go into practicing and rehearsing for a gig, travel time to the gig, hauling and setting up your own gear, then tearing it down and hauling it home... the gig itself is actually the smallest part of that. When you factor it in by the hour, we work for peanuts.

Fortunately none of us are deluded enough to think we could play music for a living. It's just something fun to do with friends.

>Discussion of what ruined music
>ctrl-f Telecommunications Act of 1996
>No results

The (((music industry))) is alive and well and THIS is what put it in Hebrew hands. It placed HEAVY restrictions on radio broadcasting keeping out small broadcasters from entering the market and allowed single entities to own several stations over the entire nation.

Before this, people broadcasting from their basements wasn't uncommon. Radio was a grassroots, experimental phenomenon done by talented young, independent disc jockeys. After (((broadcasting companies))) owned by (((record labels))) starting buying up stations across the nation, they had full control over what content enters the mainstream and thus what people buy.

The same groups who own these stations now push this music in the mainstream through social media and still have total control over what plays on the radio. This is why no matter where you are in the USA, you have the same fucking classic rock stations, the same country stations, the same exact alt-rock stations, and the same pop stations, all with the same exact fucking playlists.

1996 was the year music died.
