poptimistsI remember around the time of Bush getting in and the dotcom bust a few articles (that great pop seer Jim DeRogatis may have written one!) saying, ah well at least this will be good for music as recessions mean a return to grassroots creativity and proper music not this manufactured etc etc.
But on the other hand you could just as easily argue that in bad economic times music can provide a bit of escapism and fantasy - Busby Berkeley dreams and all that.
Do you have a view on the effects of economic gloom on the 'mood' of pop - the type of things that are likely to get big?
