<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Snowman Cometh, post: 11404177, member: 83302&quot;]Every person is an individual. So what I like, you might hate. Taste is subjective. </p><p><br /></p><p>My first concert was Led Zeppelin in 77. My last show was a few months back, a new (older) artist Samantha Crain. In the old days, ads, radio, and friends were the way to find new bands. I found punk rock at a flea market in the 70s. I paid a quarter for promo copies of The New York Dolls and Iggy Pop&#039;s Raw Power. Plus a bunch of others. Those type of marketing are gone. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll look at who is playing the local Philly clubs and check out their music on youtube. 99.9% of it SUCKS. Every song you hear now on the radio that&#039;s new, the vocals are autotuned. Did you ever wonder why many singers sound the same? It&#039;s because their voices are being tuned. Once you tune the voice, you change the notes. Those little tweeks you hear, are because they&#039;re so flat that when the note is fixed, it adds a computerized tweek to it. WillIAm of The Black Eyed Peas is one of the most noticeable examples. He has no issue with telling interviewers he can&#039;t sing. What does that say about the state of the music industry when singers can&#039;t hit the notes? That&#039;s why you find old music that&#039;s listenable. Musicians played and sang on it. </p><p><br /></p><p>The future of all media is AI. AI music is already finding it&#039;s place on social media. There are accounts made for fictionous artists with audio and photos with thousands of subscribers and likes. All AI does is steal from real musicians. A large lawsuit has been brought by Universal Music against the biggest AI music software. Because it&#039;s been trained on copyrighted material. All AI is trained on human made material from all the arts. Don&#039;t hold your breath for new musical genres, music as all the arts are on life support. </p><p><br /></p><p>I hope you&#039;re not saying that the Beatles weren&#039;t considered long haired freaks in the 60s. Because they were. </p><p><br /></p><p>Of course long hair on men was fashionable, centuries ago. But, in the western world by the turn into the 20th century, men&#039;s hair was neater (though really weird on many when styled) and shorter. By WW2 it was your basic brillcreme combed back look. It changed with the Beatles. Elvis and James Dean had pompadours. But, the Beatles broke the door open to men having long hair. </p><p><img src="https://imgs.search.brave.com/ztaQEMRs-DmSdjnG7xvycXuX3oswKdknU4lZ73CTMRQ/rs:fit:500:0:1:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly9pLnBp/bmltZy5jb20vb3Jp/Z2luYWxzL2MzL2Ji/L2U2L2MzYmJlNjg1/YzI2NDBlOTI1OWU4/NjEzNzFhODJmYzIz/LmpwZw" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="https://imgs.search.brave.com/cmlOv3Zpit9yRDIz0MDMuu6ogT2qb8UM9HPxkB_1xVE/rs:fit:860:0:0:0/g:ce/aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cu/Z2VudGxlbWFuc2dh/emV0dGUuY29tL3dw/LWNvbnRlbnQvdXBs/b2Fkcy8yMDE4LzEx/L0RlYW5Db3JleUFs/bGVuUmViZWwtMTAz/MHg3NjEuanBn" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
