I happened to come along in the music business when there was no trend.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't even know what words to use to talk about the music industry anymore. But the business has changed a lot - the methods of releasing music.
I've created several musical trends, really. That's not because I'm so far out and fabulous. It's because most bands have no ideas of their own. They're so desperate they'll grab at any old straw.
I've always treated the music business as a business.
The music business has changed incredibly. There used to be 50 record companies. Now there's only three, and it's just getting smaller and smaller. But then again, you have the Internet, so anybody who has music can get it out there.
With the advent of radio and recording, music became an industry rather than just a tradition.
The music industry is transforming fairly rapidly.
I don't relate to what's left of the music business. There doesn't seem to be any point to it anymore. The business that I grew up in and loved, we made records a different way - there were record companies, there were stores where you could buy albums.
Independent artists and labels have always been the trend setters in music and the music business.
Everything goes in cycles in the music industry.
There's so many people that follow the trend, and then it gets to a point where it gets a little stale. So, in music; I mean, whoever's the new trendsetter, that's who people follow.
