If you wanted to sing a Bad Bunny song or a Drake song for your friends…do you pick up an acoustic? Piano? Open up a drum machine on your phone?
Maybe younger generations and future generations won’t play songs for their friends since we can listen to the original anywhere and everywhere.
If the Spotify Top 50 is any indication of what is most popular, then we’re going on at least a five years of popular music that isn’t easily covered by hobby musicians just trying to find songs to learn and play for their friends.
I wonder how that will effect the staying power of the music.
Campfire songs turned into campfire songs because they were easily played, easily sung and easily shared. And it turns out songs you sing around a campfire stay with you for your entire life.
On the other hand, maybe kids will get their phones out…one on kick and snare, one on synth, one on misc sounds and one with a crazy vocal effect and jam out some 2022 hits while roasting marshmallows. That’d be pretty cool too.
