This clown talking about the music industry collapsing, due to AI like AI is the biggest problem it has ever faced. Have you been living under a rock? Record labels and money-hungry executives were destroying the music industry YEARS before AI-generated music even existed. Honestly, the music industry needs a complete overhaul. How many talented artists have ended up broke, homeless, or struggling to survive while record labels continue making money off their work? The industry has exploited artists for decades, gatekept incredible talent, and pushed its own handpicked, manufactured stars to the forefront while countless deserving artists never got the opportunity to be heard. Blaming the current state of the music industry on AI is a brainwashed take. Artists have been releasing garbage albums for years. Musicians have lost millions through unfair contracts, exploitative deals, and streaming revenue that barely pays them anything, while record labels continue making millions off the very artists who built their success. And since you brought up independent artists, let me tell you something: I’ve been an independent artist for 20 years. So don’t lecture me about being an independent musician from the sidelines as if I don’t understand the struggle. For 20 years, I’ve watched talented artists struggle to get heard. The internet became so oversaturated with people promoting their music that everyone started sounding like the same person saying, “Listen to my music.” Getting attention became a battle in itself, long before AI-generated music entered the conversation. This problem didn’t start with AI. It started with an industry that has spent decades prioritizing profits over artists, controlling who gets heard, and exploiting the people who create the music. Stop smoking that AI crack pipe. I get it — blaming AI gets you views, clicks, and engagement. But getting attention by spreading misinformation doesn’t make your argument any less ignorant. If you’re going to criticize AI’s impact on music, at least be honest about the industry’s history. Don’t pretend the music business was some golden age of fairness, originality, and opportunity before AI came along. For independent artists like me, the fight to be heard has been going on for decades. AI didn’t create the problems in this industry. It walked into an industry that was already broken. 🖤
