Electronic music has had a big impact on youth culture and subcultures, but this influence comes with its own set of challenges. Here’s a look at some of the main problems:
-
Too Much Similarity:
- Because it’s easy to make music with available tools, many songs end up sounding alike.
- This makes it hard for new artists to be unique and grab attention.
-
Money Over Art:
- Big music companies often focus on making money instead of supporting creative music.
- This can create a gap between the music and its original roots in the community.
-
Worries About Mental Health:
- The high-pressure environment at electronic music festivals can make problems like anxiety and drug use even worse.
- The desire for fame can lead new artists to unhealthy lifestyles.
Possible Solutions:
- Building a supportive community and finding mentors can help new artists stay true to themselves and take care of their mental health.
- Pushing for true artistic expression instead of just commercial success could bring back different sounds and stories in electronic music.
