As someone who has played professionally, worked 6 nights a week and could stay on the road without playing the same club for 6 months, I see the problem as being with the past 2 generations of music listeners. It began when high school dances opted for a V-Jay over a live band. Kids never got the experience of what it took to play a live performance. This started the decline in the first of the two generations. The 2nd have never known music to be anything other than digital. A song is something you can flip in and out of. There's no flow of a recording from track 1 to 10 The "industry" consolidated and a writing team was hired to create a 13 week sensation. Pump then dump. The songs, the affected vocals all homogenized. Now 40 years of listening has been boiled down to a Tick Tok ear worm. Spotify is evil no doubt but at the same time, they've no sophistication to serve. AI tunes, bubble butts and gansta lyrics are what the instant gratification crowd seeks. That said: 1000 true fans built through protocols like Nostr and Bitcoin will help musicians .find an appreciative audience. Those who slipped through the cracks and ended up with taste and a discerning ear. I'm all in favor of building this and throw my love of music and technical passion behind it LFG!!! 🔥
