The internet has taken away the need for extensive guerilla promotion (another interesting facet of the Flag), for a band to be truly hated but still try, in essence it takes some of the passion and effort out of making music. Sure its a great convenience, but on an artistic level, I'm gonna have to dispute the helpfulness of the internet
And with the internet being the defining object of everything these days, music included, I'm gonna classify this as an argument against music's current path.

damn, that was good and true. It really does take the effort and passion out of it all, which has in my eyes taken alot of the genuine(ness?) and sincerity out of a good portion of music.
BUT for the listener and or musicmaker the internet has definitley made music more accesible(i wouldnt have found out about over half of artists i like) and at the click of a button. Its like every other day i got a new favorite artist and shit
