The heavy consolidation of the entertainment and telecom industries made responding to trends largely irrelevant as trend-making became standardized in the hands of an ever shrinking number of decision makers.

Not sure they had that much to do with hip hop getting more influence over the decades compared to rock. Just how tastes change with every generation. Not sure you can lay the blame on a handful of aging leftist rock artists. Plenty of rock stars are pretty apolitical or conservative (Alice Cooper, Nugent, Gene Simmons, Meat Load) and they couldn't dictate culture.
Meat Load?! LOL

Yea blame them and not the crowd listening to them or new generations.

Rap and hip hop replaced Soul music. Rock and Roll was replaced by Disco: Stayin' Alive! ...Stayin' Alive!

The irony is the GOAT 80s and early 90s rappers are all Maga now. Ice cube, ll, ice T, rev run, Dr Dre.

Meat load would have been a cool hard rock band name.

Why do you give a shite what any musician has to say?
Posted on 3/16/26 at 2:06 pm to WWII Collector
Back in the 60's musicians would write and sing songs of protest. And keep their traps shut otherwise. This is the way to do it.

MTV is a business and it transitioned to more hip hop because that’s what the audience was looking for. Hate to be the one to tell yall this, but black folks have been the foundation for American popular music for over a century. It should come to no surprise that hip hop became the dominant genre.

I 100% believe Billy on the timeline. That was also the year The Prodigy released the “Fat of the Land” album with a huge push from MTV. Rock was out. Rap/hip hop/dance/EDM was in. Young people today don’t know but MTV was very powerful & influential on what music became popular.
Ask the glam/hair bands how they felt when they were literally taken off the air almost overnight in the fall of 1991 when grunge became the IT thing.

White kids were the primary buying demographic of gangsta rap.

99 is also when Napster came out. Record companies were losing millions. They could no longer afford to spend high dollars on weeks of recording time and teams of producers and engineers. So they move to genres that don't require that much production (cost-wise) and push all that through the handful of corporations that owned all the radio stations that were consolidated after the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
Combine that with the fact nobody was buying the new REM records, the new Smashing Pumpkins records, etc. But Korn was selling out stadiums, so bands like that could still get some production investment from the record companies.

Or like U2 and The Police selling out to pop sensibilities to snuff out British Punk social unrest at the behest of MI6.

The CIA shot down the plane in 1959 carrying Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big Bopper, so they could usher in the 60's with psychadelic music to accompany phase 2 of the MK Ultra project by dumping LSD through America's youth to gain mind control over a whole generation of people.
Halfway through phase 2, Paul McCartney died right as the project was starting to really pay off, so they had to replace him with a doppelganger, with the help of MI6 who were partners in the operation.
When Nixon stopped the Vietnam War, the hippies didn't have anything to protest anymore and the CIA didn't like that, so they framed Nixon and ran him off. He resigned because he knew he'd be assassinated if he fought the impeachment. Ford took over, Disco took over the psychedelic hippie movement as the CIA rolled out cocaine and crack to start the ghetto project and break up the Black Panthers. Disco was the cultural fuel for this.
LSD wasn't as popular, but still in use by the youth. But the CIA had phase 2 of MK Ultra complete, they had their generation all dosed up and whacked out during their formative years.
And now they finally had control of one of the most important cultural apparatuses of our country- the music business.

Of course, like I said, black folks have been setting the music trends for several decades. White people have been buying and imitating black music for a long time. Blues, jazz, gospel, rock, hip hop, R&B, etc.
