Is Old Music Killing New Music?


I ran across this Atlantic magazine article on another music forum. It asks the question if old music is killing new music. I didn't realize that older music represents 70% of the music market according to this article. I know I use Qobuz and Tidal to find new music and new artists for my collection, but I don't know how common that actually is for most people. I think that a lot of people that listen to services like Spotify and Apple Music probably don't keep track of what the algorithms are queuing up in their playlists. Perhaps it's all becoming elevator music.

@yyzsantabarbara ,

What is the FM station you speak of? Are they online? I’d be very interested.

Thanks.

@yyzsantabarbara ,

Thanks!  I’m still not into streaming yet, but I still enjoy hearing new and new to me music.

All the best.
