how do we make live music appealing to the youth?

a lot of young adults like me and even young adolescents will surprise you and love live music but not all of them

small music venues such as smalltown cafes still exist, but they aren't bumping like clubs. how do we collide both worlds successfully and get the kids mesmorized in live music like they are with 808s and samples, etc?

Maybe if the younger generation listened to real music, they may appreciate live music more, but most of the stuff the younger folks listen to is lip-synced and manufactured and many of those "performers" couldn't sing live to save their lives.

There's your answer. People go to a club to dance, not to sit and watch a bar band. razz A lot of people go to concerts by DJs like Skrillex. Same thing, they want to dance or jump around. EDM on record is usually programming anyway. Today people aren't really watching the show anyway. They're recording it on their phones to upload on Youtube, TikTok, or Facebook. I even see people in the audience doing that on current award shows which are being professionally filmed to be broadcast on TV.


You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton
