"On the edge of oblivion All the world is Babylon And all the love and ev'ryone A ship of fools sailing on" Nobody was really listening to those words then, just focusing on the upbeat melody, but it seems like he was saying enjoy the 80's right now, because we're on the edge of big change - and, some sad future events thanks to some fools at the helm of the ship - and he was 100% correct.

I think you are right. I am a professional drummer and watching a mimed drum track immediately reveals itself. The drummer counts in the song with stick claps, is wearing headphones to hear the "click track" of the keyboard sequencer and vocal.... AND the song does not fade out..ends with a choked cymbal crash...Yes, THIS IS LIVE To AIR performance, no doubt about it...and a very very good one. Professional.

Not bad at all, almost sounded like the studio recording! Sadly talent is a thing of the past in a cookie cutter recruitment studio for people that don't know better. For those that do realize this is happening please thank your parents for me.

Dear boomer:if you can't tell that the track the band is singing on top of is pre-recorded I suggest you have the hair in your ears waxed and your prescription lenses strengthened. Pay close attention and it's obvious to any and all. They really aren't trying hard to hide it. The reason you think there is no talent now is because you haven't bothered looking. P.S when you boomers need your diapers changed you should be nice to the millennials or they may just leave you out in the cold.

@@fintanoclery2698 Young people are talented as they ever were. It’s just that talented people aren’t interested in making music. They make apps and technology, instead. The stats don’t lie: over 70% of the most streamed music in 2022 was music older than ten years old, mostly from the 70’s - 90’s, but also the 60’s and 2000’s (this was in an Atlantic Magazine article if you want to look it up. Or the New Yorker. One of the two. Probably other articles online as well, but that’s where I read it). The most steamed song of the year was 40 years old (Kate Bush “Running Up That Hill”). And if not for Taylor Swift and Beyoncé putting out albums later in the year, new music streams and sales were on pace for record lows. And the trend is still pointing downward. New music consists of a) getting REAL high, b) get on a paint by numbers trap-pop track made in 5 minutes on a laptop, c) get even more high, d) use the melodic range of a 4 year old humming, and sing song some vapid cutesy rap for tik tok. Don’t get me wrong, there are still people putting out good music. It’s just that they have all been around for at least 15 or 20 years already. New music today follows the strict formula I laid out above, or even worse, are influenced by, and trying to replicate, the above formula in their own way … to make cutesy, kiddie tik tok videos. Now make way for AI; it will be a vast improvement on what we have now, and will be infinitely more sophisticated, sadly.
