Why bands are disappearing: "Young people aren’t excited by them" (www.theguardian.com)

I was looking into why I just don't see cover bands at my local venue but this hits a bit deeper at the issue.

I wonder if how niche music tastes have become has something to do with it.

bands aren’t disappearing. Small local bands are still cheap and great fun. I know, i’m in one. We tour locally every year and play a show every weekend throughout summer. We have to turn people down because we are so booked up. And that’s not just us, but most locals i know. People still love live music just as much as they ever did.

Thanks for making music, I love local bands.

The article is definitely one of those that pushes back on the editorialized headline.

thank you for coming out and listening! Y’all are the reason i love those 20h days of playing a show.

The article is about pop music. Not music in general. If you read far enough to see the statistics on various pop charts and musical festivals, you'll see the point they're trying to make more clearly.
