21. Agree. But there are so many ways to get music now

My kid listens to so many genres it's insane. When I ask where he finds them he mentions internet sites and apps I haven't heard of, plus recommendations from friends.

Sure the top pop stuff now is lots of auto-tuned vocals with manufactured beats (which I choose not to listen to), but as I reminisce about the new wave/80s stuff I grew up with and loved, lots of that was pretty formulaic.

AI is certainly going to make it harder for real musicians, but it has always been tough, with many of the most talented being unheard and overlooked by the masses. There isn't much one can do about it but support the artists you love.
