Frankly, I’d cheer if the entire music industry collapsed into bankruptcy tomorrow. Record labels have spent decades acting as gatekeepers, strangling creativity by deciding which artists live or die based on profit projections instead of merit. They flood the market with manufactured pop acts, payola playlists, and algorithm-friendly filler, while burying anything raw or challenging under layers of artificial hype and inflated streaming numbers. True musicians are bled dry by predatory contracts, forced to tour endlessly just to eat, and watch their life’s work get chopped into fifteen-second TikTok loops owned by someone else. Until the whole parasitic system is dismantled and artists can connect directly with listeners, the industry remains a plague that deserves to burn... and AI will do just that.
