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.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The music industry is transforming fairly rapidly.
The 'music industry' is not a term I use. I tend to concentrate on music, and the music business is something different.
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.
The music industry has been hijacked by corporate interests, but the way music affects people and resonates with them hasn't changed.
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.
The business has changed so much that they're able - we're able these days in the music industry to be able to control our own destiny.
I happened to come along in the music business when there was no trend.
There's much more money being brought into the advertising and communications business than in the music industry.
The making of music is profoundly affected by the market.
As for the music business itself, the key things have not changed that much. It operates like any business and money still keeps things moving.
