But why is it that in music, anything more than 5 years old - apart from a few hits - is never played on radio to the young public?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Before, I was more concerned with getting on the radio, like many young artists.
But I also think it's up to the fan base to call in the radio stations and demand that the more mature artists be played as well.
If children are not introduced to music at an early age, I believe something fundamental is actually being taken from them.
The whole music world is based on the young, the very young people.
Music is always occurring. It is just a matter of marketing, attention, and many other factors, that determines whether people will hear these songs or not.
There is a wealth of twentieth century music that is being re-discovered by a generation that hasn't heard it.
Because the casual music listeners are the ones who turn on the radio and they don't really care what's playing, they just know that they kinda like it or it's easy to drive to or it's easy to sing along to or whatever.
Music doesn't really require whether the person's a young person or old person for whatever kind of music it is.
The music that is played on the radio all the time or written about in magazines has nothing to do with musicianship.
Younger players in this music often turn out to be middle aged; it is not a young music.
