Hi Everyone Sandman Here,
This video is brought to you by a donation from Tim. He didn't give me a specific topic so I wanted to discuss a few different videos that got me thinking about a bunch of different things and I thought I'd take this video to discuss my thoughts on why western culture has been on the decline over the last fifteen to twenty years with regards to music, film, fashion and new technology and why it's going to get a lot worse going forward. But before I do let me first tell everyone about today's sponsor a musician who's content who's music is definitely not on the decline Shameless DAB: Anyways, now back to the show. I have three videos which I've shared in the description in the order I watched them to give you guys some idea where I'm coming from. Those include the content creators Adam The Woo, Black Pigeon Speaks and Sam Vaknin. Adam's video is the filming locations from the band No Doubt and they were big back in the nineties and it makes you wonder why much of music stagnated ever since then. The second video is a Black Pigeon video where he asks that question about why western culture seems to be stuck since around 2005 and finally the last video from Sam Vaknin explains to some extent why that is. Even adult content creation for the most part is dead these days. Sam's thesis is that entrepreneurship has been dying over the last few decades because for the average person the cost of living has been rising and the majority of people have been experiencing inflation in their daily expenses. While the uber wealthy have been experiencing depression because they have been hording more of the wealth to themselves and he mentioned something that I suspect and that's the beer coof that were experiencing right now will just accelerate this process. So how do deflation and inflation influence culture. Well if you're a young musician for example, regardless of if you're male or female starting a band means starting a business. And business is getting tougher and tougher. As an artist you're being hit by technological deflation on one hand where you can't make money selling physical media like CDs. But you're also being hit on the other side with regards to live performance. Many of the musicians I used to work with told me that during the 80s and 90s you could perform at various venues and a get a couple hundred bucks a night. That was enough to live off of. Plus you could sell Tapes and CDs for bonus cash. But over time people didn't have as much disposable income to go out to listen to music at their local small venue. Ironically it seems that the wealthy on the other hand have money than ever to see the big ticket artists and I looked up tickets for the artist known as the Wknd to see how much they were and the cost for a five to ten rows back from the front was a thousand bucks.
