I never understood is how people just accept listening to popular music and don't want to dig deeper. There is so much great stuff out there, much of which doesn't have crazy promotional power, many of which isn't as easy to sell to the masses but is equally or even more interesting.
That's not to say popular singers are bad...but if someone can make a brilliant record in their bedroom, that's more interesting to me than someone who did it with huge support from a corporation.
There's the need for Blockchain to come in to help all those buried talents get value
True! Although not all of them are struggling. 50k hardcore fans will allow you to eat for longer than 1 million casual fans.
But I hope a shift in culture and blockchain can help more talented people reach 50k hardcore fans, or thrive with even 5k hardcore fans. If you've had a huge impact on 5000 people, you've done a great service for this world and deserve a great life. I hope blockchain makes it easier to provide.
yes my friend that's the point I'm trying to make and you said it perfectly well. 50K hardcore is worth more than 5 million not so hardcore
it's really heartbreaking to see this happening
yes so true, there's a lot of good music and great artists that are buried with no help to promote them
There is lots in between too. Artists that aren't a household name, but have a nice following, enough to support them. It is hard to reach even this level though. Even talented artists have to persist for years to find that following.
I do not keep up with what is in the charts. I get some stuff from Spotify, but also from the #threetunetuesday posts of some Hive friends. We have some fine musicians here who we should promote.
awesome! I will try to participate. Would love to see more music activity on threads too! Especially people who have unique tastes in any genre whatsoever.
I'm just listening to some Sleep Token. My daughter is a big fan and they are good.
