Music hasn’t changed in millions of years. Not really. It’s still made when someone with a better than average imagination puts sounds and feelings together in a way that other people can relate to. Good music has always been universally appreciated by humanity since the dawn of sentience, and yet, many evolutions have taken place within it’s basic formats in the last century alone. How have people changed the way they listen to music? How has the availability of sounds increased or decreased the demand for certain musical genres, or has that affected the industry much at all? Should the music industry be afraid of the new digital music frontier?
The current state of the art is the amalgamation of years of musical evolution, culminating in all the great choices we have in this present day. Let’s take a look back in time and see how far we’ve come in a relatively short period of time. The infographic you are about to enlarge should provide an adequate overview of how things were, how they are now, and where they might be heading in the future. Enjoy!
