The kids who are growing up today have too many choices in their discretionary spending. In our youth , there was no 24 hour TV or decent music on tap. We found our music by going to the clubs . These days, the music finds you. Priority money goes towards mobile phones which have become a prime source of entertainment. Sad news for club owners but new bands can get their music out there by making videos on Tik Tok! It’s just a different world but the kids are still alright …
I appreciate such a modern perspective. It's all highly valid... One point being that young bands need a live audience and some kind of income, and they're certainly not getting the latter from streaming. But yes, the world changes and we do better to accept that than challenge it.
