Eg: Spotify free music etc...

Ya see, this is what happens when Spotify takes over.. Daniel Ek and Sean Parker = Piracy and death of the independent creative professional.

I suppose becoming an "escort" to fund your musical endeavors is one thing.. because you sure as heck aint gonna make any money from selling your music in the 21st century honey. After all, it is not about how "special" your music is any more, today it is ONLY about clicks, ads, user data and fresh faced PC sponsorship poser child product sales. Dreaming of a major label deal? Dream on honey. They'll only sign fully moldable, controllable, late teen/early 20 somethings.. where they assign managers and teams to create and control everything on your behalf. Now you're just a face who pushes play and receives a monthly stipend for "playing" along. Enjoy!

Genius how Daniel Ek and Sean Parker (Spotify = Napster/uTorrent v2.0) managed to fool the masses into supporting their 'create the virus and provide the cure' scheme. In 2018 when Spotify went public, each of the owners (Ek, Parker, 3 major labels..) instantly received multi-billion dollar CASH payments. They just paid Joe Rogan $100,000,000. And Archewell Audio (aka prince harry and megan whateverhernameis) $35 million dollars for non-creative non-musical talkie podcasts! And still, Spotify is literally actually suing musicians, indie record labels, rights organizations, the government itself and the almighty end all be all customers... devalue and destroy everything, swoop in, take over and take control.. global domination. 30% of all songs on Spotify have NEVER been steamed even one time. 98.6% of the world's artists average LESS than $12 per month in streaming royalties. On and on and on. Our current and future generations of quality indie professional creative arts are done and dusted (as is clearly presented and evident in this film). It's all about ads, clicks and data now. Thanks Silicon Valley!

So to all you supporters, I say, enjoy your mandatory "diverse" all-you-can-eat garbage paint-by-numbers buffet style mobile phone "free" content subscription packages. You deserve this level of crap entertainment, now and forever.

This documentary is poorly made. If like me, you don't have any particular interest in the "underground scene", you probably won't enjoy this film. Most of the film is about the founders and that isn't enough to make it enjoyable.

In short Wax Trax as a record label had a big influence on me. I was very excited for this doc.

The focus of the doc is very much on the founders and very little on the actual bands and music, except how they related to the founders. Though interesting, it really wasn't what I showed up for.

I found it repeating the same points over and over. Yes, the founders were gay and Wax Trax store was a meeting place for the subculture. Spend less time repeating this and showcase the awesome music that came out of that subculture.

I did enjoy how they timelined everything. I learned a lot about the history of bands I thought I knew. However they also missed reporting on some pretty significant events in the scene. They also seemed to really minimize the role of Jourgenson on the label and the scene I thought.

Overall it was a well informed documentary about 2 gay record store owners who started a label, but seemed to miss the mark on the music and the impact, with me anyway.
