With the entire world having access to internet by now, isn’t it only logical there’s a massive increase in quantity of music being available? One figurative spotlight for a factor of thousands more possible successful artists. But at the same time the internet provides significantly more ways to discover and get people togheter.
“Harder” for the average artist is not how I would describe it, I think being a successful artist requires a different skillset then it used to. You have to be more tech/web literate or know someone who is to start. But it’s still a grind, just like it used to be.
The internet does provide a way to instant fame. I’ve seen Youtube sets of people DJ’ing in their bedroom get noticed and overnight they are playing for hundreds of people. Yet again for the average artist it’s a grind for years.
For context, I do collect vinyl so spend way to much on records, obviously not the average music listener. Sidenote: genres could be fluctuating in popularity, making it easier for some and harder for others.
