If you pirate an album, you are effecting placing its value as $0. Every album you pirate, whether it be an opera cycle by Furtwangler or the latest single from Katy Perry, is being devalued to the same point of $0.
What's more, there is no value for said item because the person does not own it. There was no tangible, free market exchange that explicitly gave them ownership of the album. As a result, they are much more likely to dump an album they are not rabidly in love with. It promotes a casual tossing aside of various albums and projects as not worth any money.

No, that's horseshit.

Making music is expensive and time consuming. You wouldn't go to the doctor's office and expect him to work with you free of charge out of the goodness of his heart.

Making listenable music consistently requires years of practice and dedication. On top of that it costs time and money to make an album. For many people making music is a labor of love, but that still doesn't mean they shouldn't be compensated for it as it is an activity that involves a high level of skill.

You bringing down it's monetary value, yes. But that should be irrelevant to the musician; he/she should be making music because it's what they love to do, not because they can make money.

>As a result, they are much more likely to dump an album they are not rabidly in love with. It promotes a casual tossing aside of various albums and projects as not worth any money.

So what? That just means record companies are encouraged to put out more engaging and unique material; because now, they can't profit off of homogeneous shit quite as easily as they used to.

Your entire argument relies on piracy being some new thing. Music piracy was not introduced in the 00s so your entire argument could apply to in the past too. And if you're dedicated enough to making music you'll make music regardless. It's happened in the past and it continues to happen.

Bands these days still get to be pretty successful despite piracy so obviously the way things are isn't causing too much of an issue. The whole issue about piracy is thinking of it as lost sales and looking at the piracy numbers rather than the number of purchases. People do buy music, it's not like 100% of people pirate every single thing. The difference is that most bands these days don't get to millionaire status through making music, other than the people that make shit they play on top 40 generally.

Pop music always has dips and dives and bad years, even bad decades. We don't remember bad pop music from the past because it was bad, therefore this stuff won't be remembered. Idk why this guy is so mad. Also, does he seriously cite AC/DC in a discussion of pop music?

If you think about it, the old folks wanted their country artists, black folks wanted their motown and stacks, then young kids either wanted folk heroes, rock stars, or poets.

If a song is popular enough, it will appear on the Billboard chart. Billboard themselves gather data about what songs are popular by heaps of factors: airplay, sales, digital streaming etc.

The majority of what's popular in music has always been shit, with the exception of a period during the late 60s where maybe about half of it was actually good. It's just that we usually forget about that bad stuff and only remember the good stuff. But just even look at any random number one song from the 70s and it probably sucked. And like someone mentioned in this thread, the 50s and early 60s were especially bad, maybe even moreso than today's

I'm talking about the most popular one

Honestly though, that's the only song where everything comes together perfectly. Where a few simple chords and basic drums create such an effective sound together. What would be unbearably dull on it's own becomes absolutely genius by being accompanied with such a brilliant drone.
Elsewhere the viola's subdued. Or is being taken out of focus for a moment when the ever-so-boring drums and guitars take over the the overall mood of the song.

Probably sound clueless at this point, but i kinda mean that the song i like by them is the one that has the least characteristics of "dadrock" in it.

Yeah i sound like a complete tool. That one viola (can you really call it a drone though?) still sounds timeless though. And, most clearly on Heroin and Venus in Furs, the viola sounds marginally better than any other element in their usual dadrock sound.

You can laugh at me now

>the Velvet Underground
>"usual dadrock sound"

I don't know if you sound like a complete tool, but the Velvets had such a ridiculous range that you sound like you don't know what you're talking about when you say they had a "usual dadrock sound". Do you mean because it has guitars in it? Because the studio output of TVU is some of the least "dadrock" music that came out of that period.

I'm not trying to sound condescending here, but have you listened to their first three albums?
