Five years ago, I wrote a piece called Does Music Have a Future, which I’ve always been rather proud of.
Yesterday, a comment piece in the Guardian echoed much of what I said back then. The future has arrived!
By the way, most of the comments following that article seem to confuse the use of the term “boy band”, meaning mass-market manufactured all-encompasing pop, with “boy band” meaning either a band with boys in it, or a band making bland pop music. I don’t deny that both of the latter will continue, perhaps even thrive, but I don’t think we’ll again see a day when they dominate the music charts and push everything else to the periphery as they did for much of the 80s and 90s.
