English Paper

So my 8 - 10 page paper that I am going to write in English is about the DIY concept versus the Music Industry.  I am going to cover all of the aspects of how DIY is separate from the Music Industry.  I will explain what the DIY concept is and how it is appealing.  And I will explain how the Music Industry is ruining music and making it all about the money.  I quote a few documentary’s that I have discovered that favor the DIY concept and explain what is put into the art and how much it takes to do it yourself.  They explain that the music industry is all about the image and putting yourself out there just for the money.  Producers, agents and managers are only looking to make money off of the artist.  And the artist is only looking to become a famous rockstar.  There are ways to play for people and become known without making money off of your art. The DIY concept is about putting forth effort and creating everything yourself. DIY is all about being creative.  I explain that there are DIY outputs all around us.  Even some can be seen in Bloomington-Normal.  There are a few DIY venues like the Fishbowl or Dawson’s Creek.  And they rarely charge money, unless there is a touring band.  But these venues are all about creating and sharing music.  No money involved.  The way music is supposed to be.          

I feel like I will be able to fill all of the pages with my knowledge.  I feel like I know a lot about the subject and can explain it.  I really enjoy the concept and hope that there still continues to be a DIY scene in the future.
