All Comments on 'Pictures'

Brought up good thoughts for me, comparing airbrushed models and autotuned music. People are coming to accept these plastic ideals as reality and hating themselves when they don't measure up. I'm always reminded of this story about 80s music, the synthesizer to be exact. I heard it so long ago I have no placement or source. But the story goes that when the synthesizer was invented, the makers thought it was better than instruments because it could remove the humanity from instruments, the breaths taken, the imperfections of the instrument that gave musica certain grainy feel. But tests on humans showed humans did not prefer perfect instruments, humans preferred music with humanity, leading to grunge and the rebirth of acoustic music in the 90s.
