What do you think? Can the economy actually affect the music industry?
How has the introduction of radio, computer, MTV, shared-music sites, and the IPOD affected profits?
How does state of economy affect music industry?
Everything in history, whether it’s war, the economy, or whatever, effects the music industry. Look at how much music changed in the late 60’s/early 70’s due to the Vietnam War. Countless songs about peace, love, war, etc. Wouldn’t surprise me a bit if another huge change in the style of music happened again due to the economy. I hope so. Today’s music sucks.
