Music and Talent

It is quite interest in this day of age where just about everything has become restructured (In my opinion) due to the Internet. In our discussion on Tuesday we went over three kinds of ways in which you reach celebrity status: ascribed (born with fame), achieved (achieved the fame), and attributed (octo-mom). I wanted to talk about achieved fame in it's relationship to the music industry. The Internet has open many doors for independent artist, but it has also taken away so much. It is now possible to make music solely by computer, which completely cut's out the $$$ middle man (Music Engineer's and the like). As an artist we also have the ability to market ourselves and even start an independent record label via website or the numerous social networking sites or both. But, where does the down side come into affect?? It come with no surprising that many teens grow up want to be famous. This large amount of kids growing up set on becoming rock-stars (in the long-run), creates numerous artists putting out numerous tracks. In-fact, now that we have the Internet the music has become more saturated then it ever has before. I wanted to give one idea of achieving celebrity status, but feel like this can fit with just about any area of entertainment. Technology has open many door, but I also believe it has padlocked quite a few as well.
