Abstract
At the dawn of the music streaming era (1995-2000) two tropes emerged,
1.Downloaded music existentially threatened “music,”
2.Artist-run distribution networks would end the musical “tyranny of taste.”
2019 again sees major change in how we listen,
•In April 2019, a Glasgow University funded study revealed streamed music as the most environmentally problematic ever,
•In May 2019, UK Parliament passed this motion, “We are living in a climate crisis that will spiral dangerously out of control unless we take…dramatic action…”
•In June 2019, Apple announced the end of “iTunes.”
Change to our listening habits is imminent.
