There's a lot of great rock made today, it's just not mainstream usually and done with smaller budgets. They are probably on Bandcamp and sometimes their songs have 500 views on Youtube. | ||

I'm with you and I while like this myth if there was a modern Velvet Underground, "living in the underground" somebody would be trying to make a buck off it. The Alan McGees of the world need fuel for the fire. The closest thing I can find as an, "industry expert" is Jesse Welles who's blown up on Instagram and YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPHafKOd9A4 If you want music like we had in the 20th century we need institutions, producers, entrepreneurs, a literate public, and a positive economic set. We need to pay musicians money to do their jobs. Music isn't a hobby. As the poet once said, "music is proof that there is more to the human than there seems." | ||
