"This is the first time in history (past 20 years or so) where popular music and marketing have been intertwined."
Popular music and marketing have ALWAYS been intertwined
"Instead of a popular group or artist being so because he/she decided to break the boundaries of the musical mores (Elvis, Beatles),"
Elvis was tutored by Sam Phillips of Sun records then marketed as a white man who could sing like a black man.
The Beatles were one among many English bands trying to imitate American rock. Then, they were told how to dress, how to cut their hair, etc. Pure image marketing.
No matter how many threads I post this in. No matter how many times I tell of my experiences and credentials in the industry and of those I know in the industry, some people still very freeperishly spread the bit of wishful thinking that today's music industry is different than that of yesterday's.
It just ain't so.
