Reply to comment by DoctaMario in The Modern Music industry sounds like a shit-show by coolguysteve21

I can't really follow you.

There's no household names. Is what I'm saying. Everyone knows Michael Jackson.

In 70 years, no current popstar will be remembered.

Simplest way I can put it is, people's listening habits have changed and there's more to compete with music now in terms of entertainment so big stars are going to be fewer and far between. If Michael Jackson came out now, he'd have the same recognizability issues Dua Lipa has. More choice=less ubiquity=less big stars.

You're exactly right, which is what I'm saying.

Music is just not as big as it used to be.
