Why bands are disappearing: 'Young people aren’t excited by them'
www.theguardian.com
Maroon 5’s Adam Levine was scoffed at for suggesting there ‘aren’t any bands any more’ – but if you look at the numbers, he’s right. Wolf Alice, Maximo Park and industry insiders ask why

I was looking into why I just don’t see cover bands at my local venue but this hits a bit deeper at the issue.

I wonder if how niche music tastes have become has something to do with it.

    I understand the sentiment but I disagree. I’ve found the best music ever from producers and bands formed after my 20s and 30s.

    I just won’t be seeing them in local venues anytime soon because almost all of them are from outside of the US and aren’t in the “top 40” spotlight.
