>Luminate, the company that monitors music consumption for the record industry, noted in its mid-year report that “current” music (identified by the industry as material being less than 18 months old) isn’t just losing market share. It’s becoming statistically less popular among all demographic groups. Looking at the United States, the metric known as “Total Album Consumption” of “current music fell by 1.4 per cent in the first half of 2022 compared to a year ago. Meanwhile, “Catalogue” music — material more than 18 months old — is up by 14 per cent.

Popular music has been the same brand of niggabeats for more than ten years, doesn't really tell you anything.
Lincoln Wright
music has been pretty shit since after 2010, with only a handful of good albums and tracks coming out after then
Ayden Flores
Blink 182 bros is our time.

Did this retard just forget about the massive global pandemic that shut down the entire world for two years which is more than eighteen months?
Angel Cox
Why would that affect the music that the general populace listens to in any meaningful way? Dumb fuck.
Jace Murphy
Music stopped you retard.
Lincoln Watson

Parker Garcia
"Music stopped"
I know you haven't even graduated high school yet so we should all go easy on you, but at least try to elaborate on this retarded statement.
Matthew Lee
Any Forums has been shilling a new piece of shit flavor of the week for the whole duration of the pandemic.
David Perry

Bentley Scott
yeah just replace the word month with week and pretend like it wasn't the same ten or so projects all year
you don't have the right to use the R word projecting your own high schoolishness onto others who actually remember a time when the music industry existed
Angel Evans
>18 months
Woaw people listens to music from 2020, big deal
Eli Cox

James Moore
That's the dumbest loaded question I've ever seen, and any acceptable answer to you would have to be a long wall of text. You honestly think there hasn't been any new music written and released by new artists in the past 18 months?
Austin Clark

Brayden Russell

Musicians are always releasing music, you're either a pleb or on crack.
Liam Smith
2012 was during the height of dubstep and Frank Ocean hipster hop neither of which are exactly what's happening now.
Joseph Cooper
The most current pop hits ALWAYS had a monopoly on the vast majority of people's attention.
That is absolutely a rather alarming statistic if it's true.
Mason Myers
it's like saying 1982 and 1992 had anything at all in common.
Landon Smith
don't want to hear it from anyone who can't legally walk into the club and hear the new music without having an X drawn on their hand
