I appreciate this take but I think it’s revisionist. I worked with Bon Iver at this time (from 2007) and I considered this track to be in the “stomp & holler” genre that blew up in 2012. Early but contemporaneous with Ho Hey and other skinny trousers n’ boots jams.
everyone is conflating this with “stomp clap ho-hey” music but in reality Edward Sharpe were, by proximity in fanbase and music industry, closer to acts like Bon Iver and Fleet Foxes than The Lumineers or Of Monsters and Men.

PREACH.
I would strongly encourage think-tank employees - particularly those who have have never worked anywhere else - to try a career in the arts before lecturing artists about the importance of weakening copyright laws.

It was never fair use by the way. Not because this bully declared it so.
Altman translated - if you don't give Open AI free access to steal all copyrighted material by writers, musicians and filmmakers without legal repercussions then we will lose the AI race with China - a communist nation which nonetheless protects the copyright of individuals.

sounds right.
My working hypothesis is that the generation that grew up with guitar hero & YT tutorials has now created thousands of guitarists that are the most technically gifted in history. But they can't create original music. Where are all the great new rock bands
