The music industry has changed—and not for the better. What once was an art form built on storytelling, struggle, and raw emotion has been reduced to an assembly line of catchy hooks, short-form content, and songs designed for instant gratification rather than lasting impact. In this video, we’re breaking down exactly how and why the industry has lost its depth.
We’ll explore:
🔹 The Obsession with Hooks & Virality – Why modern music is engineered for TikTok trends instead of artistic expression.
🔹 Short Attention Spans & Quick Dopamine Hits – How social media and streaming algorithms reward disposable music over meaningful work.
🔹 The Loss of Storytelling & Struggle – How the raw power of experience-driven music has been replaced by manufactured personas and industry plants.
🔹 The Dark Side of the Industry – Addiction, mental health struggles, and how the business chews up artists and spits them out.
🔹 Why Authenticity is Dying – How commercial success has overtaken creativity, and why artists are afraid to take risks.
Music used to make you feel something—it told stories, reflected real experiences, and had the power to change lives. But now, we’re stuck in an era where songs are forgotten within weeks, artists burn out faster than ever, and labels prioritize short-term success over long-term artistry.
Is music losing its soul, or is there still hope for a comeback? Let’s talk about it.
