Why bands are disappearing: 'Young people aren’t excited by them'
www.theguardian.com
Maroon 5’s Adam Levine was scoffed at for suggesting there ‘aren’t any bands any more’ – but if you look at the numbers, he’s right. Wolf Alice, Maximo Park and industry insiders ask why

I was looking into why I just don’t see cover bands at my local venue but this hits a bit deeper at the issue.

I wonder if how niche music tastes have become has something to do with it.

    The bloat makes it harder to find stuff you jive with

    This is my biggest problem. I don’t have the time like I used to to sort through all the riff raff and find the newer music I would like, so I find myself listening to the same stuff I’ve been listening to for 40 years. The closest I get is using Flow in Deezer to try and find something new, but even then it’s rare to find something new that I enjoy. Every so often, though, I’ll find that little nugget that makes me think maybe I should spend an hour or two a week sorting through some new stuff.
