agree ako sa lahat ng points dito.
let's face it, there's a reason why it's called the music industry. law of supply and demand lang din yan. Filipinos never got over the 80s. Never. And the artists who get to break the monotony? Their fame only lasts as long as they keep the label's demand for radio tunes.
pero I still stand by the kill all the revivals thing. yes it's the producer's choice because of the demand of the people. but law of supply and demand will dictate that if there is only the substitute that is available, then it will replace the main product. So, if all producers just outright killed all revivals and throwback airtime that's not on "retro day" then listeners will have no choice but to appreciate it. How do I know it won't flop? Hollywood has been feeding the international community with the same crap. Jessie J has been feeding the world with even worse crap. Mainstream will consume everything you says it wants.
you realize that nung nawala yung OPM Pop, biglang nagsulputan yung mga KPOP songs at mga songs ng Meteor Garden. IMHO, it is the TV Culture and Radio Culture. sila parin ang nagdidictate kung ano ang ipplay. i dont know if you know this, pero in order to get play time sa mga "Jologs" radio stations like 90.7 Love radio, you will have to pay them. kung ikaw mismo, indie or purist sa genre mo, hindi ka nila ipplay dun. you have to pay a large fee, or sleep with one of their producers/Djs.
hindi ito baseless claims at base sa research ha? nakita ko to kasi andun ako. wala namang artist ang gustong makilala sa Cover Songs eh. the sad fact is, you ahve to do it to survive.
"So, if all producers just outright killed all revivals and throwback airtime that's not on "retro day" then listeners will have no choice but to appreciate it."
Get real. with the advent of digital media, kahit patayin mo yung airtime nila, ipplay parin yan sa mga CD Dash or USB ng mga jeep at tindahan.
if you think you can simplify the Music Industry with just basic economics, I am sorry but you're way off. It's not that simple. you kill the airtime, people will look for another source. parang hoarding lang yan. may risk ka rin na mapanis yung mga tinda mo.
Ako, i am one of those artists na nagooppose dun sa revival thing. when my band was starting, I tried my best to be against the current, and try to break through that barrier of OPM Pop and Revivals. However, wala talaga. sure, you can keep playing as an artist. but trust me when I say, you'll most probably be playing for free food, or worse, free lang talaga.
Unless, the media conditions the listeners to be open to listening to new stuff, walang mangbabago sa industry. Pop and Revivals will reign supreme. parang mga teleserye lang yan.
