Luca, I think your point about how music taste changes so drastically throughout someone's life is a very valid point.

And it's something that I've definitely noticed myself going from definitely more pop music I was younger to rap in uh high school and now kind of transitioning to older music and really more live live stuff as well.
0:23
But uh I also wanted to add one thing, how music taste has changed within the past five years.
0:30
I think the expansion of social media has led to a whole a whole change in the music industry.
0:38
I think a lot of producers and marketers are looking for those short-term, those little clips of sounds that are catchy because our attention spans have been reduced due to social media.

And I think all they're looking for now is that little five or ten second hit that gets people hooked, and that's where the money is now, unfortunately, instead of the whole quality of the song.
1:05
And another thing now that's really apparent is the face behind the music.
1:11
I think back in the day nobody cared what the artist looked like if the music was of quality.
1:19
But now, regardless of uh the quality of the music, the appearance of the artist makes some of the biggest difference.
1:30
And I really think that's unfair to most musicians because some of them are labeled to never have a chance just because of the way they look.
1:40
And I think that's a topic that really needs to be addressed in the music industry.
1:45
So great point.
