What can we learn about social change from the music industry..?

This is a follow on from my pirate post the other day on remixing social change.

What can we learn about social change from the music industry..? 

• The trouble with all dominant cultural forms is that they don't invite you in. They just want you to buy the product. 
• Music is one of the only truely classless art form. 
• The future of music is at first alienating. Its a subculture, genuinely feeling like it's ahead of the rest. 
• If we want to remix change we have to have something no one else has. 
• What is the opposite of the music that is happening now now? And what do we need to make the bridge easy from here to there?What's your organisation's sound in a sentence? 
• What's your recognisable vocal communication singing style in a sentence? 
• We need to create something entirely new, something which hasn't been heard anywhere ever before. 
• But how do you know it sounds exactly like you and no one else at all? 
• What's the timeline of music? What's next? 
• This is year zero. 
• How can we get people excited again that something is actually happening, something is actually possible. we don't have to argue along the same old lines. 
• What comes after this? I ask myself that every morning - what comes after this? 
• It has to represent something. 
• It has to mean something. 
• I ask myself that every morning - what comes after this?
