In big industries, the worker becomes part of the machine, even in the music industry. The musician is a worker alienated from the economic benefits obtained through the final product, a proletarian. The owner of capital and the means of production keep the added value of the final product, giving the worker the necessary wage just to stay alive.

This is analyzed from the historical materialism proposed by Marx as a method to understand how the world works today. What the person who wrote this meant to tell you is that every act carried out within a social context is mediated by the relationship between production, consumption, and who benefits the most from what is produced and what is consumed. And to finish understanding music, it is necessary to carry out a historical materialist analysis of it

Yes, I'm aware of the basics of Marxism, but still this entire conversation doesn't have any reason to exist.

Maybe not in this profile, I agree, but such conversation is important.
