RE: Entirely Random [ER]#10 -- Music from 2014, Indiana(USA)
I'm not familiar with the hiphop genre, but your statement more and more trash is produced, well, I can say this is also the case for many of the sub-genres in electronic music. With all sort of software available, so many people think they can produce something. The hard truth is, the mass even supports quite a few artists adding no value to music in general.
I think it's the case with every genre. The problem is there will always be many more people who see music as a form of background noise rather than an art form.
Like electronic music, hiphop and it's subgenres can be produced entirely from one's laptop with all this readily available software. It's a tough subject, because I do feel that it's great to have such easily accessible programs for everyone interested in making music. However, the ease of being able to publicize everyone's music creates a much bigger pool of nonsense for quality work to get lost in.
As I was typing that last part, it kind of reminded me of things I've heard said on Steemit recently about the platform itself. As long as an individual has the ability purchase promotion/votes, issues like these will always remain.
Thanks for stopping by :)
Talking about Steemit, with the big votes DTube and DSound are giving, did you notice the amount of users who download some app for simple music creation and for the first time in their lives start making music and uploading it? Most;y sounds like nonsense, or even worse :( Crypto space is on one hand good, but I think it also results in a lot of bad content being created, including music. Musicoin gives free money as well; When requesting all your friends to click your tracks over there, one can earn good money, regardless of quality of the music. But yeh, that's life I suppose,
Yeah, that is a tough situation. Unfortunately it's the same concept that's allowing us to do what we do here. I think overall it is a good thing, but you're right, it does encourage quantity over quality to some extent.
I plan on posting more in the future about my friends' who are musicians. I don't use the term meaninglessly - they are very much so musicians. I am just hoping to have a bigger following before I do so to gain them more exposure. I think if people continue to promote actually good music on these spaces, over time it will begin to weed out what's good and bad. It is certainly a better system than how the current music industry operates, at the very least :)
Steemit and similar platform do indeed provide a great opportunity, for anybody who can create content, good or bad :)
