[QUOTE="NiobiumTragedy, post: 61323236, member: 244766"] There are lots of new gadgets being made these days. Look at electronic music and how it's evolved over the past 10 years. The bigger problem is that people can actively mimic a lot easier because making music has gotten so cheap to do. Certainly you remember the times when a band would come out and a group of friends would get together and play music that was either covers or had the exact same sound. The issue is that where in the 70's, 80's and 90's there was no way to really have others hear you unless they performed in your town for a group of friends, they are now able to record themselves and toss it on the internet and get exposure to masses. It also doesn't help that the RIAA has this "we want you to sound like XXX artist" mentality which floods the radio stations with music that all sounds exactly the same in mainstream music. I think you hit the nail on the head with the latter comment. There are many artists out there who are experimental and artistic, but the problem is that there is so much of it these days that it's not really all that original and in all honestly, when people tell me they are trying to be artistic and original, I always think of some arrogant, stuck up person who caters to the "intelligent audiophiles" while wearing a beret and I want to slap them. ^_^ [/QUOTE]
