Seriously why is American music trash right now.

[Professor Emeritus]

Modern music is run by corporations, and their primary interest is making the most money possible with the least risk possible. As a result, modern music is extremely formulaic and tends to follow generic, low-brow trends which they know come with a guarantied audience.


Of course, corporations have always ran shyt. But in the past they didn't have the formulas down so clearly. That meant they had to guess a lot more, which resulted in variety, and executives spent a lot more time promoting their personal favorites, with some executives being good at recognizing real talent. Modern music executives don't push their personal favorites or actually talented artists anymore unless they fit a particular formula that they know will result in profits.

The whole world follows what the US does.

Something doesn't get popular until the US does it.

Indeed she did but does her music translate on a global scale.

MAINSTREAM WISE, labels do NOT develop talent from the ground up anymore. The label artists are either nepotism'd in or already have their own following the label wants to eat off of.

But there's too many ways to find new artists who's play isn't dictated by radio/commercial play.

You're just plain lazy or don't have the spare time if you can't find something in your niche these days.

Bandcamp and SoundCloud alone have TONS OF TALENTED ARTISTS from AMERICA AND ALL OVER THE WORLD that you can find and listen to.

Stop letting Spotify and Apple Music dictate what you listen to.

A Canadian rapper who's whole persona is based off a US breh.

I'm from Canada, correct me if I'm wrong drake's not a traditional Canadian rapper, I don't remember seeing his buzz or growth. I remember him having a song with Trey Songz then he went quiet, and out of no where he's doing a hit with Wayne lol.

Yeah he did bring Afro beats across the pond, but he's popular as hell. He's low key Wayne status, whatever he touched even if it's wack people are gonna be

Remember Wayne's Rock album phase
