Not surprising.

For the First Time in History, "Old" Music Is Outselling New Artist Releases | Thump

Yeah, nobody uploads old shit to file sharing sites.

Big surprise.

I think it's same for old porn vs new porn. The vintage porn sites are the future.

No wonder, the new stuff sucks big time

not surprising but the old stuff isn't sell more, its just that the new stuff is selling less.

:2 cents::2 cents:

Not surprising. "New" music today sucks absolute BALLS. No one can play their instruments, no one can sing without auto-tuning, the producers make all the recordings sound the same....fuck that shit gimme Zeppelin.

Yeah, pirated new music downloads in the billions can't affect sales; the music must suck.

Just like with porn, the affiliates not stealing content simply sucked and tubes had no choice but to take over.





:uhoh

there has been some amazing music in the last decade. i don't live the past or the so called glory days but 2015 was a very poor year for music. for film as well. just a few good ones here and there.

Years ago, it was all about the whole album, in today's music, it's all about the single.

Naw, file lockers, piracy, etc is not the issue. The RIAA tried for years to stop piracy (including suing the downloaders) and that backfired. No, the issue is the music today SUCKS ASS.

Name me ONE (just ONE) "rock star" today. Name me ONE (just ONE) awesome rock and roll band that could live up to Led Zeppelin, The Stones or The Who.

There aren't any.

People know shit when they hear it so they go for the good stuff (pre-2000).

Agreed. :GFYBand:drinkup

This is because it's much easier for us to find older music.

Ten years ago if you wanted a certain album by Hall & Oates your local music store might not have it in stock. But online you can buy it instantly.

Yeah yeah, blah blah, piracy is good for everyone.

This oldie from 2013 still hits hard doe

Lets have Britney weigh in on this topic - Old School

Didn't say piracy was good. It's just not the cause for people buying older music vs. newer music, that's all.

Or is that raccist?

I don't know what you talkin about. Ribbet Hog is selling like crack rocks

With the exception of a few bands here and there, new music for the past 10 - 15 years or so has sucked ass. And there plenty more of it even.

guess it makes sense demographically as there are probably more seniors or near-seniors than younger people now.

Goes to show what age group has money to spend on music or anything else from 'disposable' income.
