I was looking into why I just don't see cover bands at my local venue but this hits a bit deeper at the issue.

I wonder if how niche music tastes have become has something to do with it.

I for one support the Zoomers in killing the music industry. Maybe we will see more art again in the rubble.

Music industry has always been just garbage, I don't see why it needs to be propped up in any way. Welcome to the Machine called it out back in the 70s. If anything indie music proves that music will always be around, we don't need the corporations to tell us what to listen to.
