in the 1950s-1990s, entertainment biz was predominantly people from working-class or middle-class backgrounds who 'made it.' |

Date: May 8th, 2026 9:10 AM Author: Dirtbag According to Rick, the main process major labels go through to find talent is to go on social media and see who has a lot of followers and that's how they choose who to sign.
I thought it was preposterous but then I heard Bill Ackman say the same thing in an interview with Lex Fridman. Ackman has a large position in Universal Music Group. He said we look for social media stars and turn them into global phenomenons.
The music business hasn't thought one iota about whether the music was actually good or whether their artists had musical talent in about 25 years. Just find pretty people who can dance and engage with fans online and then pass them off to professional songwriters. Until artists start making their own stuff again you're not going to hear any compelling music. And the Big 3 record labels consider artists who write their own songs a complete waste of time. They should be posting on insta and doing SNL. That's how you get famous which propels streaming, merchandise, and endorsements which the label gets a cut of everything you do.
In summation 'music' doesn't really exist anymore and the industry is about finding people who are famous on the internet and making them way more famous so they can ultimately star in Super Bowl commercials which is how Bill Ackman can actually make money off of them. |

Date: May 8th, 2026 1:55 PM Author: Dirtbag It is what people want but there are millions of neglected customers who want something else and they refuse to even try to deliver it. Like with Films they make great money from slop so why try anything else. But a huge customer base is alienated and no one caters to them.
Also Yuja Wang proved you can sell way more tickets as a hot Asian chick in a skimpy outfit playing Beethoven than an old white guy in a tux. |

Date: May 8th, 2026 12:06 PM Author: michael doodikoff Noah Kahan’s upbringing is often described as comfortable and creative, rather than "rich" in a high-society sense, though it is a subject of some debate among fans regarding his "small-town" image.
Here is a breakdown of his family background and financial context:
Family Background Parents: Noah was born to Josh Kahan, who taught him guitar, and Lauri Berkenkamp, an author who wrote parenting guides.
Environment: He grew up on a 133-acre tree farm in Strafford, Vermont. While owning significant acreage suggests some level of stability, Noah has described his childhood as being rooted in a rural, "middle-of-nowhere" environment rather than an extravagant one.
Education: He attended Hanover High School in New Hampshire, which is located in a relatively affluent area near Dartmouth College. |
