I'm late to this thread. I'm shocked that I had to scroll past an entire page of "music is dead" to find something about Bandcamp.

Producing music is easier than ever so there's more music out than ever. Listening to music is easier than ever.

If you're relying on mass media (tv/radio) and big labels to find music you'll enjoy, you're doing it wrong.

The curators nowadays are Youtube channels and Spotify playlists and indie labels on Bandcamp, I'm following music subreddits, finding stuff on Soundcloud.

New music isn't dying, it's striving.
