I don't really buy into the idea that labels are useless, and that the future is independent artists producing themselves. Sure, labels produce a lot of crap, but some of the shit coming from independent bands is just terrible... there is something to be said of having too many options. The sound of many of these groups and artists has just become a wash of cliche instrumentation, loops, and vocalization... just because the sound at one point was niche, doesn't mean it's any more original than top 40.
