The "Academics are petit bourgeois go work in blue colar labor" guy when the "actually, all laborers in the first world are part of the aristocracy of labor" guy walks in
@theneedledrop Let's argue, most people who work at retail stores just listen to trash hits anyway so it would be mostly the same with a few actual bangers from people with real interest in music. Any grocery store with meat market in it would constantly be playing GnR, Journey and AC/DC
It takes more than 800,000 streams per month to make the equivalent of a $15/hour job, and the vast majority of music artists on platforms like Spotify never get to that number. I introduced the Living Wage for Musicians Act to fight for the fair pay that musicians deserve.
