Why bands are disappearing: 'Young people aren’t excited by them'
www.theguardian.com
Maroon 5’s Adam Levine was scoffed at for suggesting there ‘aren’t any bands any more’ – but if you look at the numbers, he’s right. Wolf Alice, Maximo Park and industry insiders ask why

I was looking into why I just don’t see cover bands at my local venue but this hits a bit deeper at the issue.

I wonder if how niche music tastes have become has something to do with it.

    I’m in the midwest USA and even here you can see Hip-Hop and EDM taking over where pop and rock would’ve been the go-to. All the venues/bars that play rock look like a retirement home party now. I’d much rather dance to a DJ then a cover band playing the same shit I’ve heard a million times over the last 30 years.
