About this Quote

This quote by Jerry Harrison talks to the current state of the music market. With the rise of streaming services and the increased focus on business success, there is a greater emphasis on making money than on developing art. This can cause an unfavorable pressure on artists to produce music that is commercially feasible, instead of music that is creative and special. This pressure can suppress imagination and lead to a homogenization of music, as artists are incentivized to produce music that is more likely to be effective. Ultimately, this can cause a reduction in the quality of music, as artists are more focused on generating income than on creating something truly special.
