In today's world, we see new artists popping up left, right and centre, most of them dying out after one song, but a couple hanging on to their fledgling audience.
As more and more songs are beginning to get more repetitive, it really begs the question of WHY people actually like the music. Let's take an example.
One Directions's new ultra-popular song the so called 'Best Song Ever' was heralded as the... well, best song ever by their 'fans' - which surely stands for fanatics - and when it emerged that One Direction actually stole the beginning of their song from The Who's 'Baba O'Reily', most of their fans reacted angrily saying that the Who had actually copied One Direction.

Another example, this one possibly even more worrying, Katy Perry's new single 'Roar' is topping the charts currently and people are saying it's the new 'Teenage Dream', well, they are actually right...
Roar uses the exact same chord pattern as Teenage Dream, and, when played together at the same time, they sound identical. Running out of ideas Katy?

Has the music business run out of steam?!
COME ON GUYS!
