Finnish electro-house producer Jori Hulkkonen complained that ‘music has lost its meaning’, in a detailed tirade in which he also suggested that Web 2.0 social networking has led many stars to lose their ‘sense of mystery’. “I've always loved artists who create an image, a stage persona and represent their music through that. Now with Facebook and Twitter, and reality shows like (Pop) Idols you know everything and more about these people by the time the first single is out. These people seem like ordinary, gifted, but ordinary people who just make music,” said Jori. Flamboyant French electro-tech legend Lady B (aka Bruno Gauthier) linked to the article (on Twitter ironically) and broadly agreed with his sentiments. “I wrote ‘Amen’ before I reTweeted Jori's article because he pointed out exactly what’s happened in recent years in the music industry; ‘music has lost its meaning’ and that’s true not just for music but for everything’.
