Will the stream of modern day boring producers ever subside?

In modern times every other person seems to be of the misconception that one day they will be famous and/or break through as a professional musician. Its not a surprise to me. Myspace, Twitter, Xfactor. Every youthclub situated in a run down part of the UK seems to have a fully kitted out recording studio where the working class/black/asian kids can go a spill their garbage mc'ing about what a hard life they have in their estate. I wouldn't normally mind. My problem is when i have to start hearing it on the radio and on the tv. Tinchy Stryder typical example of the ****ish mess our society is in.
Now I could just ignore all this e thats being produced and released with no quality control applied. But im not going to do it because I like to get under the skin of the idiots responsible and get other people views on the subject.
My main query is whether or not I am going to have to put up with this for much longer? Will it fizzle out soon? will all these failing dj's realise that their substandard music will never earn them dj sets, money, fame or success? When video editing gear gets cheaper and more mainstream will they give up and move on to try and make movies instead? Will these unmusical working class kids ever get off their arses and make a real contribution to society instead of hiding behind their bad upbringing/colour of their skin with the argument that they will one day become successful diamonds in the rough?
Will their ever be a divide like the good old days? Where the people who shouldn't be doing certain things are unable to do them. Like a quality control stopping the from ruining it for the rest of us. Will there be a time in the future where you see a divide between the good stuff and the bad stuff instead of a big clutter of material that isnt bad but isnt good either. Just plain and boring. |

Technology, like pretty much every other thing or process out there, has both good sides, and really ed up ones. Unfortunately those bad sides (like overflow of new producers or hyperproduction) can really kill an enthusiasm for finding new music, and I really can't see it stop anytime soon. I understand new producers who just want to get their stuff out there, but at the same time I can't understand large portion of them who have absolutely nothing new or different to offer, but decide to pollute the market anyway.
I've found however a pretty simple solution for this problem. I just buy or download stuff that was released in a physical format (and since I mostly listen to albums, this works for me like a charm). Most of the stuff released physically has passed at least some kind of quality control (although it's not hard to find even there), and labels who release music in a physical format constantly search for a new talent to be signed, so I'm not really afraid that some awesome and magical music will remain unrecognized and thus not released in a physical format. In fact, I haven't yet found a single digital only released track that has a characteristics of a classic that will be remembered in a next ten or so years. |
