The "Industry" is dead, due to the fact that anyone can basically do anything on their own. People can make music with the minimalist amount of tools and show it to the world. People can now shoot a movie with great quality film, without paying the extreme price that it would usually cost to shoot a movie. The problem with that is that there's a lot of people doing it and not everyone is talented, and the people that are talented get drowned in the mediocracy. That's not always the case though. This freedom allows people with great talent to work on their own and develop their career without an agency. This is the power this current age has. There's also the problem of hype and backlash. Remember when a certain music group/person was talked about 24/7? You would log on your twitter account, look at your timeline and you would constantly read tweets about that music group/person? I bet now they aren't as relevant as they were then, or they're just completely irrelevant. That's to be expected nowadays, there's so many bloggers, and people in general, that just bandwagon on the "next best thing". Music has also become a whole lot easier to obtain. Not only is it easier, but most of the time you can get it for free. This can be considered bad but it benefited a scene which some musicians/fans depend on, which is live performances. "True fans" get to pay homage at concerts and at the same time they can just experience something that only happens that night. Technology is the cause for all of this. Technology revolutionized the world completely and it's still revolutionizing now. This is basically what this documentary talks about, but it does it a lot better than I can so take an hour and 20 minutes out of your day and watch this!
