The Music Industry

Today we made a mind map of the music industry. We separated it into two sections; major record companies which are generally owned by conglomerate companies such as Warner Music (Time Warner), and Sony, and independent record companies such as Domino Records, or Ghostbox. Major record companies tend to work with mainstream artists such as Take That or JLS, whereas Independent Record labels work with more talent focused artists such as Arctic Monkeys and Lily Allen.

Some keywords that are well suited with the work that major record labels produce are:
MAINSTREAM, DISPOSABLE, POPULAR, REPETITIVE, POP, MANUFACTURED, SYNTHETIC
Key words for independent record labels:
CREATIVE, ORGANIC, AUTHENTIC, ALTERNATIVE
