The entire industry is built on punking someone. That's what hype is all about.
In our industry, if you have the balls to tell the king he is being punked, you get tied to a car by your balls and dragged til there's nothing but balls on a string behind the car left of you. |
to me it seems that the whole music industry is sick now. it doesn't serve a purpose. i mean, the purpose should be to create some great music and sell it to customers, but the industry fails more and more in the first thing (creating some great music), because what the industry focus on, is profit and not the music. people of most professions in this industry became *****s and i think that even many sound engineers bitching in here about how the industry is dying, many of them are probably also guilty, for example because they submited themselves to became soldiers in the loudness war, which also contributed to the fact, that the industry is producing shit and not music.
to me the music industry seems sick. the music industry was going against themselves for decades, and now the cancer of the industry is soo big...well, i think that it gone so far that it will be less effort just to watch it fall and die, and have something different grow, than to try to heal/transform it (with uncertain results) in this phase
