There's been a debate about low quality vs popular music vs masterpieces ever since there became a such thing as music.

Or, also try to argue that while Stairway to Heaven was a significant musical piece, it didn't have nonsense lyrics.

I don't try to claim that this girl has any particular significance, but I do tire of rose-coloured musical era nostalgia.

Lots of shite and not to many good songs.
It usually takes a few years for the good stuff to be appreciated.

But this is that revolution. Rebecca Black and Taylor Swift are both youtube sensations. But watch the Taylor Swift, she made it her own way, and went so often to nashville her parents had to move there to keep an eye on her. Rebecca Black made it by accident. A lot of internet success is the failure of someone else's attack. But as for companies, she is the suing at the moment for ownership of Friday, as I say, which she'll almost certainly win.

No companies, no contracts, open audience to the earth's audience, and all the technology you want. That's your musical revolution. What it will produce ultimately no one knows, but yes, they will not spend years mastering and playing 4 chord progressions and 12 bar blues, they can hit a button that does that, but they will work on their craft, and who knows what they will create.

Having thought about it more you are right that this is the next revolution. No companies, no contracts, self-made self-produced material and all released digitally so there's no need to press CDs. Hopefully we will see some true talents that are proper artists come through this that wouldn't otherwise have got anywhere. Of course this means that we'll also have to put up with the bad releases as well.
