**Q:** What Will It Take To Unite Artist, Industry and Fan?

**A:** "Nowadays, **[Digital Natives](https://www.hypebot.com/cradle-to-grave-the-untold-story-of-digital-natives/) discard and consume popular music** repetitively through file-sharing not only for reasons of fashion, but because as fans they take it for granted that the Major Labels and a growing underbelly of independent musicians together will produce a continuous flow of new music. But, as we learn to appreciate the idea that the values of the world they inhibit and the technologies they surround themselves with have had a profound effect on who they are, **we can begin to understand that the social ecology of music** culture that took decades or more to develop offline, **isn’t just going to reappear online."**
