4/5 of those people would still be at those raves even if they had never heard of the top act!! You also have to realize that these guys played "other" peoples music out of Pioneer cdj's for 10 years growing their popularity before doing their own stuff.

so people choose to go to raves despite not knowing the headliner. I go to clubs to see bands all the time where that is the case.

how about radiohead?
it doesn't really matter if you agree because it's all subjective. some people don't like any of those bands named. I'm not one of them, but one man's trash is another man's treasure.
is Thriller a better record than Back In Black? I don't know and don't care (i like both), but I DO know Back In Black sold more.

why? cause people use music to sell other shit now. And if they had organic rib eyes in drive thrus for 2.99, people would never touch a 99 cent cheeseburger again. But theres the catch, in music it all cost the same price to the consumer and is readily available at all times!
|
if music is the same price to the consumer and always available, how can it be compared to pieces of meat not readily available at all times and sold at different prices?
music has always been used to sell things. 70 years ago you could listen to Colgate variety hours on the radio with musicians performing and also advertising for colgate products during the show. There were many others just like it.

That Justin Bieber shit will stick in your head for 2 weeks, god knows what/how they are doing that- but I would not be surprised if subliminal messaging was used in some way. A parent can not compete with that influence with just simple words!!!!

considering the target audience for beiber i'd have to say a parents simple words run into problems with anyone that age. i don't think there's anything subliminal going on. there IS alot of money being spent on people with serious track records though.
the list of people credited as writers on beiber's stuff is lengthy and includes people who've worked with many successful artists or are successful artists themselves. Everyone from the singer of the cardigans to Usher is on there.
