Bob Dylan Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 p.s.: I just fucking listen music for myself, I don't give a shit about the "social" aspect of it, what others think. You think I care about somebody else' opinion of Autechre? Or Prokofiev?. This article totally ignores that totally. I especially don't care whatever manipulation methods other people are being thrown at about their music listening. It's so unimportant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chax Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 how many canadian watmm'ers are there? also philip glass: the article explains that process that you're talking about as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GORDO Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 it's obvious that a successful band will be talked about. so yes it's an obvious correlation, but the cause for the memification is the appeal of the band not the other way around. it's pretty arrogant to think otherwise. and p.s.: I just fucking listen music for myself, I don't give a shit about the "social" aspect of it, what others think.

Bob Dylan Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 If its most people, why would that article be of any relevance? The article is just "how to manipulate everything for profit and fame and sex". It has nothing to do with the music. Yeah maybe that's the point. Yeah... ¿ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're forgetting how many people have shit taste in music. You don't need appeal or even talent as a prerequisite to be successful, the demand for the mediocre is out there aplenty.

patternoverlap Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 Mostly I think the marketing works because of limited access. Most people aren't going to seek out new bands outside of the convenient media outlets, so what those media outlets expose them to is typically what they latch onto. They do choose to a degree, but it's only between the choices they have been presented by these popular media outlets. The majority aren't going to make the effort to seek new things outside of what is in front of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GORDO Posted March 26, 2009 Share Posted March 26, 2009 because they're not interested in doing so, i.e. they follow their taste. just like anybody else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nene multiple assgasms Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 it's not just a matter of following your taste. some people have hope that there's better music out there, and want to hear something they've never heard before.
