offlineShots for all ![+] Embed the video Get the Video Plugins This basically sums up the entire "industrial" genre right now.
Change the lyrics from "Swords" to "FUCK!" or "ARGH" or "Whores in the club" and you got yourself the next hit song.

Softsynths and DAWs are definitely not the problem. You can sit anyone in front of a computer with music software or in front of a workstation synth and if they don't know anything about making music, their shit is going to suck, no matter what.
It doesn't matter.
The problem that I see is that the internet has given everyone a voice and it is constantly shoved in your face, no matter how bad it is and you are expected to feel guilty and not tell this kid who has the hax0red copy of whatever and has no clue what in the hell he is doing that his shit blows.
This kid sucks the balls of a "label" (read: his friend who got an inheritance and wants to waste his money on something other than blow and goth clubs) and gets his album put out. Now, we are all made to feel bad when we don't buy it and "support the scene".
Said scene then "dies" (has been dying since day one) because L0rd Fuckt@rd 242's album did not sell more than 10 copies and his 3 loyal fans go back to listening to Lady GaGa (whom is quite Industrial according to the geniuses here and on the VF boards).
All that this accomplishes is having to sift through a veritable sea of shit to find the few true pearls of art.

Rogue Process
offlineMember@ epytoneC - My, we're awfully verbose today! ;P
My viewpoint on the whole thing probably isn't quite as harsh as yours, but what I do think is that many of the younger bands in the scene really could do with aspiring more, and being a lot more self-critical of what they make. I mean everyone has a band, or bands that they look up to and get inspired by when they first start making music, right? Hence it puzzles me a bit when you hear these acts putting out albums on labels maybe only a year or two after inception, and they're obviously so far off even emulating their idols, let alone pushing forward into new musical territory or anything like that.
And there are so many of these 'industrial rave' bands who have quite obviously been influenced by a lot of hard dance, but put out an album a year, maybe more, that just sound vastly inferior to all the proper hard dance coming out.
In short, I really wish more young acts would start thinking more about quality over quantity. But then again, that's just my preference.

I agree with you both, completely.
The music "industry" is fucked for sure, but everyone is looking for a scapegoat in the "pirates", which are undoubtedly somewhat of an issue, but no one is looking in the mirror.
Is it such a stretch to think that people do not want to buy the same recycled, 4th generation degraded copy of what sometimes was an inferior product to begin with?
Now, I'm not saying that everything has to be totally original (is that even possible anymore?) to be good. All I'm saying is that there are a fair amount of trends going on that were mediocre, at best, when the Originators did it and now that there have been like 25 bands copying it, it just become annoying and terrible. I wouldn't even waste time prating it, let alone paying money for it, heh.

Seems they need to produce as much as possible cause they live from their music...Wrote with 2 label guys in the last weeks, they are not very optimistic about CD sales and stuff, also I asked them about MP3 and FLAC sale, they said it doesn´t pay the expenses alone. Well the music is just some clicks away (except ur a orig. cd freaks still they exist but more older guys I think). Don´t know if the fast food music will improve the situation in an already saturated market with very little money to be made anyway. This is probably also the reason some bands switch to market their underwear or soundchecks as so called "VIP" packages. However there seem to be still labels and bands that are doing quite good.

At one point, people who were interested in "cyberspace" also had a modicum of intelligence.
A LONG TIME AGO.

Hrm.. maybe not.
