soon it will just not be worth spending the time and energy you need
to make music commercially in any way.
is that a good thing?

less musicians in the world = less music
Less musicians?

You have to be kidding me, there’s literally hundreds of thousands of people getting into writing music every year right across the UK. There are community based (and funded) projects cropping up where anyone can get into making music. Shit I even saw an advert on the telly for reason not so long back

I work part time in a hospital and in the last 6 months I have met 4 people around my age, one writes DnB, one make techno (that makes 2 inc me??!) and one Dubstep and some other guy whos making bassline house. Om maybe none of us are real musicians but you get the idea. One has a full studio setup and the other guys are all pc based. Never the less I doubt that I would have just bumped into 4 artists at work 5-10 years ago like that

You think its all cming to an end? This is just the begining imo, we on the start of something new here. Those who make a living out of music may not be doing so soon, just like what happens in just about every trade out there. Bad, yes in a way but its just a fact of life that things are forever changing. What matters the most is the club scene and the quality of the music that’s coming out. Right now people are starting to realize those formulas they are sticking by aren’t working anymore. That’s a positive in my book, a big one at that.

If vinyl dies, if labels even die, it wont stop nothing, not as long as the internet is around. Its just going to root out the people who in this game with wrong intentions imo. Survival of the strongest

P.S I am not trying to sound like mr bigshot, I admint im a nobody but Im going to be around doing this untill i die because i ****ing love it
