Had no idea the multi-billion dollars music industry was ruined.
>IT"S NOT ABOUT THE MONEY!!!
People making a living flooding the market with shitty music would beg to differ.

Not the industry, and not "Internet".
Web 2.0/SNS-era ruined music as a whole.

No, if anything it allowed lesser known artists to share their music.

yeah it BuTtFOcked the industry there for a good bit. and artist and audience alike seem slightly unsure how to move on - do we want the mindless repetitive crap we were getting before? soundcloud rap and vaporwave says post haste and turn up the repeats.
Streaming platforms are the industry zombie that may never die. you would think the internet would democratize the music market but they actually just make it easier for labels to narrow peoples musical interest to a handful of artists.
this bleak outlook wont last, artists will soon adapt to this new playing field and as new technology is continually added to the virtual playground, adaptation will become the name of the game for artists as audiences will flock to the new virtual reality live streaming service (that also suck your off)

Oversharing and overcommunication probably did - there are probably prodigies that haven't been able to be what they're good at because they got distracted from the instant access of procrastination stimuli

the internet liberated the music industry

Yes, I'll give you several examples:

>Death of local scenes
The internet destroyed the idea of local scenes, and thus, destroyed the subcultures that used to surround music, and destroyed the potential for new and unique subgenres to emerge. Pre-internet, each city might have its own "scene" in which the bands generally knew each other, and subconsciously developed a similar style. Now the internet has destroyed that. It has blended every city and every country's music into this same banal bullshit, because there is only one "scene" now: the internet.

>Death of music culture, devaluation of music
Once upon a time, you had to go to record stores to find new music. There was a genuine culture around being a music fan. You might hear about some crazy new record through a friend. You might have to scour all over the town or even travel to a different city to find a store that sells this obscure record. Music felt like it MEANT something. Finding a little-known band's album that turned out to be a 10/10 felt like you just struck fucking gold. Now, finding an obscure record takes 2 minutes between asking for a recommendation or looking at a chart, and then searching it on Youtube or Spotify. It means nothing now.

>Death of serious music
The internet developed this mind-numbingly retarded culture that now seems to have rubbed off onto any and every piece of music that is now created, particularly in alternative/indie circles. The internet has made everything "ironic" or "post-ironic", and everything is about "memes" now and looking like a fucking retard in your music. Musicians don't try to look cool or dark or brooding or thoughtful anymore, instead there's a race to look like the biggest retard possible. Case in point: bands like King Gizzard with their ironic meme-kid aesthetic, or Death Grips fucking working on songs with the director of Shrek, or fucking vaporwave. Everything's about irony now, and being a silly stupid shit.

And as we've learned with most socialist revolutions. "Liberating" often means making things much worse.

you mean having their democratically elected leaders overthrown by the CIA?

(cont)
TL;DR: The internet ruined music. In fact, the internet probably ruined everything. If you look into it enough, you start to realize everything about the overly cynical, ironic, back-bitey, ADHD culture we live in today can be traced back to the internet. The whole thing was a fucking mistake. It's an invention that should never have been made. It has literally done nothing but make human culture worse, and slowly kill off all the intimacy and emotion that there once was felt between human beings. We're progressing towards a society where everyone is raised to be a cold, socially awkward autist with a short attention span. I seriously fucking worry for the kids who are being raised their whole lives with constant unsupervised access to the internet, which is now the vast majority of kids. They are going to grow up to be the most insufferable generation in human history. I worry that they won't even be able to communicate beyond just using "dank memes" and fucking retarded buzzwords like "boomer" "zoomer" "coomer" "doomer".

I have to stop writing now because this is making me unimaginably angry. I fucking hate what modern technology has done to this world. Everything is awful now.

It absolutely did. Lars was right.

based

there's probably plenty of geniuses oppressed in china atm too. thats what happen to many 20th century geniuses in soviet russia

I wouldn't be aware of 90% of the music I'm into if it wasn't for the Internet.

Very well put user

Why are you asking a bunch of 14 year olds who don’t know anything this?

Yeah you can make your own music yourself and put it out yourself but good lucking getting more than 2 people to hear it without some serious financial backing.

Yes, as well it should.

No. MTV ruined the music industry, the internet just dug the grave for the corpse.

some people ITT are confusing music "industry" with "integrity" - or only seem aware or care about the integrity of brain dead pop music

Yes, it killed the industry and saved music.

no.
look at milli vanilli situation.

the internet puts the honus on us to find and decide what is good and meaningful in a sea of mediocrity and fame seeking zoomzooms. too bad more than half of mu are brainlet fantanofags or scaruffi drones too lazy too and uneducated to understand anything but mindless loops and create a unique opinion on anything ;)

It did but not in the way you think. Back in the Beatles' time, there simply wasn't a lot to do. There was no Internet, no vidya, three black and white TV channels. Artists would spend all day practicing and working albums to perfection because how else were you going to occupy your time? That doesn't happen anymore because people simply have too many distractions. Instead of spending a couple weeks fine-tuning a track on an album and redoing it over and over again, you'd rather just punch some buttons in ProTools and get back to Minecraft or posting Twitter rants about orange Nazi man.

dont encourage the fedora, user
