I agree with him completely. A very similar trend happened the first time skateboarding got popular. everyone wanted to do it to be cool and get rich/famous so you had all these posers and douchebags everywhere making the scene stale and repetitive not pushing the boundaries of creativity at all. When those trends died out the only people that started skating or kept skating where the people who truly loved it and helped it progress. Nowadays both are popular and you have mainstream prima donas.
The light bulb speaks the truth. Labels in my opinion need to die & good riddance to bad rubbish if you ask me. In the past, they have buried artists with debt & forced them to work to death to pay off the marketing loan. The moment you are nearing a zero figure they make you do another album to plunge you into more debt again for another 2-5 years. All it takes is that 1 signature to agree to write a few albums & your life is destroyed. And the most fucked up aspect to it is that you are stipulated & stifled creatively. The Freedom to express is the environment for creativity to flourish. I implore all new artists to take part in spreading word of The Music Revolution; where music re-enforces it's artistic ramifications during this interregnum, & repudiates the claims that POP & it's celebrities opine towards even affiliating the definition of art. People will pay for something they love, & if they can't, they will share it to someone who can pay.
123987username Sony MDR-7506. The original MDR-7506 that came out in the '90s were made in Japan, were very crisp, and less on the bass side, which was good, because the bass was nice and tight. The later models are made in Thailand, and they seem to be far more bass heavy, still very crisp in midrange and high-frequencies, but too much bass for my taste. It's either the market got like that for headphones, or my ears have gotten worse over the years.
123987username The MDR-7506 were meant to be studio monitors. And they quite become the de-facto "industry standard" as most of the recording studios use them. Sennheiser HD280 has been gaining popularity as well in recent years. The difference between the HD280 and the MDR-7506 is quite stunning though. The Sennheiser are so muffled compared to the Sony. Nonetheless, after listening on the Sennheisers for about 2 days, my ears got adjusted, and I didn't feel them as muffled anymore. I guess human ears can adjust to a lot of things. Anyway, the MDR-7506 which were derived from the MDR-V6 introduced in the '80s, they are even appreciated by audiophiles. I read a very positive review of those in Stereophile magazine. And prizing a sub $100 headphones is a rare thing in Stereophile mag. When it comes to the Beats I kind of associate them with the muddy rattle plastic type of cheap bass :) So, when I look for headphones, I look at the brands with legacy, such as Sony or Sennheiser. Call me old or anything you want, but you can't really go wrong with those two manufacturers. I am thinking of getting those new MDR-1 series along with the ZX2 Walkman that is too come out soon. That would be a nice combo I think, no matter what everybody says and hating so much upon Sony these days. I don't give into the fads like iPods, iPhones or Beats. I want a dedicated musical equipment from a respected brand with long legacy such as: Sony, Senheisser, Philips, Panasonic, TEAC/Tascam, Pioneer, Marantz, Denon, Fostex, and especially Yamaha. I mean, why would anybody chose Beats in that company, that's quite out of any sanity standards to me. Although, after acquisition by Apple, maybe they'll at least make the Beats out of aluminum. I saw some dude with iPhone and silver aluminium looking Beats. Maybe they address the rattling plastic bass that way at least :)
Andrew Piatek you know your stuff. What do think of the look of the things. I never would walk around with beats no matter what sound quality or price tag. Whats the best looking, not sounding, kind of phones
123987username When it comes to headphone looks, lets be frank, most of the high-end headphones look quite ugly. They are not fashion statements by any means. I focus more on the sound quality, frequency response, and tightness of the bass, and of course build quality too. Some flimsy headphones won't last too long. I currently have a couple of MDR-V6's and a couple of MDR-7506's, and one Sennheiser HD280. So, I am not in a hurry to by new headphones now, 'cause I am well stocked for the time being. But, when the Sony ZX2 Walkman player comes out, I will get the MDR-1 along with it. After all, why not supporting our favorite respectable companies by buying their products? I certainly do.
@ThePsychShack in 1999 albums were the best thy did not suck , 1999 was the peak year for music!? if he released play this year it doesent sell because people's taste has changed , now we have bad music not in 1999.
Moby's understanding and sense of the world and business around him are amazing.
Even though I don't listen to Moby's music, I have much respect for the guy because he is one of the FEW real artists out there
Well said, well said.
Thanks for uploading this great video.

@underyourskindvd I couldn't agree more.
Music is more horrific now than ever on a major label level and they play less variety now than ever.
Nice headphones. Very refreshing not to see Beats :)
agree what kind of headphone is it

Hell today music is crap, the music in the nineties were at it's peak.
I love the Big Whale. He tells Whale.s Tails. Big Fat Nobody would believe his story.....Whale's Tails.....albeit honest.
Labels rip off the artists! Plain and simple.
