Is Music Broken Seth Caro on AI, Value, & Why Thinking is the Real Revolution

Is music actually evolving—or quietly losing its value? In this Reggae Hour conversation, Seth Caro joins us for a deep, unfiltered reasoning session on music, thinking, and the role AI plays in exposing an industry already under pressure. Seth reflects on growing up with hip-hop before discovering reggae, crossing genres without copying culture, and why scenes and slogans often limit creativity. He challenges the fear surrounding artificial intelligence, suggesting that AI may not destroy music—but instead force artists and listeners to confront how little value we’ve allowed music to hold. The discussion moves through producer mindset, streaming economics, and cross-genre philosophy, touching on moments like Keith Murray’s “Jah Rx (Redeye Remix)” as evidence that true crossover comes from shared values, not marketing strategies. This isn’t a promo interview.
It’s a conversation about time, responsibility, and learning how to think for yourself. Follow Venice Beach Dub Club and stay connected:

🔗 Carrying Value Beyond the Conversation A central question in this episode is whether music is truly evolving — or whether we’ve slowly allowed it to become disposable. That question doesn’t stop with sound.
It applies to how we create, how we consume, and how we choose to represent what we value. At Reggae Hour, we partner only with brands that understand that craft takes time, and that meaning is built — not optimized. That’s why we align with Old Glory. 👕 Old Glory — Craft Over Algorithms Old Glory is a heritage lifestyle and apparel brand rooted in craftsmanship, durability, and cultural identity. Their philosophy mirrors the ideas explored in this conversation: resisting shortcuts, honoring process, and standing for something even when it’s slower. Old Glory isn’t about chasing attention.
It’s about holding value in a system that constantly tries to strip it away.
