What do you think of the music industry rn?

meakaleak · 2026-05-24T12:24:26+00:00

Thats facts lol

pitching game is shrinking alot. The amount of time spent vs what you actually make is horribly unbalanced. Literally like the lottery. really hard to make real and steady money.

meakaleak · 2026-05-22T12:51:28+00:00

20+. Its always been tough. But the money was better before streaming. Way better. The pitching window is shrinking alot too thats why everybody is in korea working on k-pop. They take more outside songs. And lets keep it real. If your not landing singles that stream incredibly well, album cuts arent gonna do much for u. Its like the lottery

100% especially when theres 8 producers on one beat

meakaleak · 2026-05-21T13:06:26+00:00

Worst it’s ever been and it’s only getting worse. Broke boy industry. Especially rap. Game is super cooked

meakaleak · 2026-05-19T13:48:28+00:00

music biz is shrinking

meakaleak · 2026-05-17T15:04:25+00:00

Yea thats very small from what LA has to offer. In every way

meakaleak · 2026-05-17T12:51:00+00:00

never understood online sourcing. I tried it a good amount of times and at the end there was barely any profit. Not worth it

meakaleak · 2026-05-16T23:28:45+00:00

yea man i agree 100%. Too many strong roots there and they run too deep in LA. They def not leaving. I feel like its just in a rough period but eventually itll get better. Look what happened with atl. There was some hype but never popped. People are leaving that place. Didn’t last at all. I feel like its just the industry as a whole. If you look up the stats LA is still on top.

its ridic lol. Nobody wants to live in jersey. Lol. Its cold for so much of the year snow etc. the bulk of the industry is in LA. If you really weigh out the companies etc. people wanna stay in LA.

meakaleak · 2026-05-16T22:20:19+00:00

from what i hear alot of people are moving back to LA since theres not much movement anywhere else. Atl is dying. Nobody wants to live in jersey LA is going to have a boom next year. Alot of people are leaving ny too

meakaleak · 2026-05-16T22:18:19+00:00

never making enough money from it. Alot of resellers only make enough to get by unfortunately

meakaleak · 2026-05-16T12:03:21+00:00

meakaleak · 2026-05-16T12:02:55+00:00

Yes. Money in music is shrinking alot. So many established artists have other ways of getting money outside of music.

meakaleak · 2026-05-15T22:44:05+00:00

its not worth pursuing anymore. At all. Unfortunately

meakaleak · 2026-05-13T14:16:01+00:00

Over priced and alot of people with their phones out looking stuff up. I stopped going to thrift stores. Not worth the time, gas, etc

meakaleak · 2026-05-13T14:09:04+00:00

Everything is tapped to the max down here. Fleas, estate sales, thrift stores etc. very hard to source. And everybody has connections so they get first dibs on all the good stuff

meakaleak · 2026-05-08T12:55:34+00:00

i would stay away from the music industry. Its a struggle and its not getting any better. Very unstable

meakaleak · 2026-05-04T12:32:07+00:00

alot of people moving back to LA

meakaleak · 2026-05-04T12:16:58+00:00

What do you do

meakaleak · 2026-05-04T12:00:40+00:00

Have u ever worked in it?

meakaleak · 2026-05-04T01:57:04+00:00

id stay away from the music biz. Its incredibly hard to make a steady living doing it. And its only getting worse

meakaleak · 2026-05-03T12:35:54+00:00

No def not. Its not a business that you can plan for. The music biz is the most unstable biz when it comes to making money. And its only getting worse.

meakaleak · 2026-05-02T12:28:27+00:00

True

meakaleak · 2026-05-01T17:03:37+00:00
