Why old music is killing new music
https://youtu.be/rYX1YFiQTDw
INTRO: In this episode I am discussing the new Ted Gioia article in The Atlantic called "Is Old Music Killing New Music?". Old songs now represent 70 percent of the U.S. music market. Even worse: The new-music market is actually shrinking. We will discuss why.

Modern pop music is boring. And you know it.
https://youtu.be/bH8W5rstTm4
ViDEO EXCERPTS: Recently I found myself unable to listen to anything made before 2005. And personally, I've been tuned of out pop music for a while. I don't expect to like pop music, anymore -- I don't expect it to be good. So I don't look for any modern pop artists, to release music that I like.
However, I realize that is really weird. Because I am 22 years old, so I should theoretically love the music that comes out right now. Most people love the music that comes out when they are in their prime. But I have hated music for a long time, I've hated the modern style of music. [...] So number one, the first thing I have is boring. ... We've lowered out standards because we're so bored...
