This is a video about the Music Industry, and how it's developed throughout the years.
The music industry as we know it. Is way older than you think. Sure its
developed throughout the years. But the fundamental building stones are pretty much the same.
You see. Ever Since we were able to put music on a media, it's
gone all downhill since then. 
Even back in the 50’s Johnny Cash had some big
problems just getting the record companies to talk to him. (He luckily made it though)
But how about all the great musicians we never got to see,
because some record company prick didn't think that he/she would sell any records.
Now what have that lead to. 
I once saw an interview with Frank Zappa
where he describes the issue very well. 
This is somewhat what he said.
Back in the day, the people running record companies used to be “grumpy” old cigar
chewing men, who would let all kinds of music genres have a chance. They didn’t
know what the music was about, but they could certainly hear that it had
something to it. So they stuck it on a record and saw what happened.
Now at some point, this studio need a guy clean the place and
get the coffee on time. 
And after a few month where he’d brought the coffee on time, the old
grumpy men said, “well he brought the coffee on time, we can trust this guy
and ever so slowly “the guy” got more and more power at the record company. Now when the
old grumpy men died, or that ever happened to them, “the guy” was in charge of everything.
Well this “guy” had a music taste of his own, and wasn't very openminded. So
whenever a new band came in, and didn't sound like anything
he had ever heard before, he got scared and said, “we can't take a chance on this, because i know”
And that is where it all went wrong.
Nowadays every record company, (at least all of those who get exposure
are suffering from this crazy way of thinking. 
It really
takes the music out of the music industry. Because that's what it is, industry
and its been like that for alot of years. It’s an industry that doesn't take a
chance on anything that doesn't sound like the radio. 
You might ask yourself
“Why is it such a big deal?”
Here's why. “You’re missing out!”
Now let me visualize it for you. 
If you have a. 1 meter wide wood plank, that
represent all music in the world. Unless you do something about it
you're only exposed to 1 millimeter at the very edge of the plank.
And since it’s all you’ve ever heard, that's what you like and can relate to
Since the 1mm is to controlled by the music industry, they make it seem
like it’s all that is. Again because they can't take a chance on anything
that doesn't sound like the radio. It’s really a shame, because it's the
same song over and over again. Just in different tempos and keys.
Really it is
You know how the song goes.
There is a few storylines that these companies use
Example number one:
I think you look very sexy, i want to bite your neck and put my penis inside of you.
Example number two:
I have so much money, look at my expensive car, house, clothes and all the booze i buy when i go out.
Example number three:
I’m so sad because he left me, and i thought we were gonna be together forever.
Sure there is a few more,
but these are some of the most used storylines
used to make money. 
But why is that?
Well it's easy to relate to
and with a catchy melody it’s a safe home run for the industry.
Is we look at example one
everybody likes sex, and can relate to “i wanna put my penis in your vagina”.
Example two, Money.. That green paper that controls the world everybody
wants it.
Make a song about how much money you got, and once again they’ve got a homerun.
Example three: Love is one of the fundamental parts of the human mind.
and that's why so many songs are love songs, EVERYONE can relate to that. 
It doesn't
matter it it about how much you love you mother, or how much you love the guy
that left you… Or once again “i wanna to put my penis in your vagina”
It's the same fucking thing
Write some cheesy edge pushing lyrics, and take your computer and compose a beat with some synthesizer sounds,
4 on the floor, and there you go.
Home Run! one of the most significant
damages that this industry has done to a
society is to let young people miss out
on all the great music out there
I work in a HiFi store, so i spend all my working time, listen to music, talking to customers,
and of course drinking
coffee because that's what we do
since I meet so many different people in
all ages it's clear to me to see what
kinds of music that get people going. And it’s really easy to see which customers
really like the music they listen to, or if they just listen to music because it's there.
Here's an example of the kind of costumer i really like to help.
50 years old,
listened to alot of music throughout the years.
This guy loves music, loves to
put on a record and just listen to it
listen to the details the composer put
into the music the details the musicians
worked on to make the performance as
close to perfect as humanly possible and
appreciate the whole production of the
track appreciate the amount of hours
days or even weeks that went into
getting the tack sound just right
Now here's an example of the kind of customer that i don't like to help.
19 years old, goes to college, hangs with his
friends, wears that modern adidas hoodie and pants along with the cap
ofcourse just like his friends so we can
fit in
this guy usually gets in the
store and fills it with that weird
feeling you know do I really have to
talk to this guy feeling after minute or
two, he ofcause spots the high-end set up
every store has one now this is a Hi-Fi set up that should be treated with
respect and care we're talking systems
that could easily cost around seventy
thousand US dollars that's a serious
setup and of course it goes crazy and
once we had that new single from the
Popstar of the week, you konw because it's an
expensive system. You know money as I talked about. Since it is my job I want to give
everyone a great experience when it
comes to sound I'll of course put on the
new single for him.
And believe me within 5 second
they asked if I can crank up the volume
after listening to the track for around
20 seconds they usually come up with one
of two reactions
one
bro that's sick I want to buy that shit someday
or number two
Bro, that shit sucks, even my car plays more bass than that
Now why don’t example number two appreciate the
music he’s listening to. 
Well there's a couple of reasons for that
First of all,
the music isn’t produces for Hi-Fi systems. 
The type of people who listen to
that kind of music usually listen to
music on a phone, computer or in the car
the speakers in the computer doesn't
come anything close to even what the cheapest
bluetooth speaker can sound like
so the producer of the track have to mix
the track so it sounds good on a fucking
phone I mean come on that's where we are
really people this is reality that's
where we are anyway another reason as I
talked about before is exposure these
people were never exposed to music other
than what's in the radio now allow me to
quote Dweezil Zappa talking about his
father Frank Zappas' music
thank you all of you who supported Frank through
all these years but I can't help but
feeling like somehow his music has
skipped over a couple of generations and
some young people have been missing out
on something they really should have the
opportunity to get exposed to and when
it all comes down to it isn't it all
about exposure I mean there's nothing
wrong with Frank's music but it's not
on the radio like beyonce. And there's nothing wrong
with Beyonce I'm just saying if Frank's
music but on the radio like that I think
there would be a lot more people that
would have more of an open mind it's
sort of like that quote Frank used to
say
"the mind is like a parachute it, doesn't work unless it's open"
-Frank Zappa
personally I couldn't agree more with Dweezil
Now that we’re at it, let's talk about Frank Zappa.
Frank was a musician
composer video editor/director he had a
wife and four children in my mind Frank
is the best composer that ever lived his
music can't be described with words but
I'll try anyway most composers in the
world have a certain musical background
that they stick to. Frank was different when
Frank composed music he would have
inspiration from all over the world
which also is the reason why even though
he released sixty-two albums within his
lifetime never the two records sound the
same then looking at his lyrics I can
confirm that they all over the place as
well but one of the things he was famous
for is to joke about anything from
Jewish people, gay people, politicians, the
big shots in high school. Really just
anything and also he did a bunch of love
songs but not as you know them he would
always put a big fat laugh on pretty
much anything I found Frank's music one
day when I was surfing around YouTube I
came by this video titled
“Frank Zappa - Broken Hearts Are For Assholes”
now until this point in my life
I've been listening to Metallica, Beatles
Rolling Stones, Lamb of God, Dream Theater
and bands like that. there's nothing
wrong with these bands it's just so you
know where I came from
so I found that video on YouTube and
checked it out and I clearly remember
thinking that it was some strange shit
to be honest but I got curious and I
wanted to see more at the right side of
the video there was a list of suggested
videos where I found a track called
"Inca Roads"
now this track blew me away and
as the minutes went by I got more and
more excited for this new world of music
I found by the way today "Inca Road" is my
all-time favorite piece of music after
that I wanted to hear more so randomly
got my hands on the “Apostrophe” record from 1974
which blew me away from the moment I put it on
Could music sound like that?!?
 I was in shock now. I've been into Frank's
music for only four or five years but I
can say that his music has really helped
me develop my mind, and as an extension
to that made me somewhat sane Frank
helped me see clearer I thank you for
that Frank now the reason I mentioned
Frank is because he had a huge impact on
the music industry or at least in
fighting against it but that's a whole
other video for itself and let me know
if if you want me to make that video now
