In "The Changing Music Industry," Eric Jurco argues that the evolution of pop music is leading to decreased artistic value and meaning. This paper highlights three key concerns: the increasing prevalence of remixes and auto-tuning, which diminish vocal authenticity; the reduction of lyrical substance, with artists seemingly prioritizing catchy sounds over genuine emotion; and the commodification of music, where artists focus more on marketing than on their craft. As iTunes dictates trends, the essence of music risks being overshadowed by commercial interests.

Paper 3 “The Changing Music Industry” By Eric Jurco
Structure of paper 3 • Argumentative • 3 basic points, broke off into sub points • Persuasion with my statement rather than a narrative
Topic: How the music industry is changing pop music, and how I have developed a more negative view towards the changes. • Less meaning • Too many remixes/auto tuning • Music is more money/actual music
Less meaning in the lyrics • It sounds like some artists just throw lyrics in their songs to make it sound good, not really any passion behind the songs. • Make no sense • Dubstep/Club music
Too many remixes/auto-tuning • - It’s like having a voice has lost it’s value. • Auto-tuning takes no effort and enhances the sound quality of anyone’s voice.
Money/Music • It seems like Artists have almost been turned into marketers. • iTunes influences what’s popular and what’s not. • Hit songs rather than full albums.
