Well before that it was "how does it sound on the radio" So I'm not sure anything has really changed in that regard.

>what does it matter now if live performances are garbage when
>the
>yardstick to measure all music now is "do it bang in the club
>tho?"

Eh we loved the stuff that bumped in the club back in the day too... it didn't have an impact on someone's live show.

>artists aren't learning to make music live any more be it
>bands,singing at talent shows rapping over sound systems at
>street partys whatever
>
>its all created in the studio to be sold as a mechanical
>reproduction after being marketed.
>
>
>live performance is a distant afterthought to these artists

that's the irony in all of this.... that's how most artist earn their money today. I'd say that being good live today is even more important than it was 20-25 years ago.
