"The Music Industry is Imploding"

Seriously? This is the best tag line you can come up with Media?
I've seen at least ten articles in the last few weeks that all use "implode" as the verb describing the recording industry's actions. While the phenomenon is not new, can we please find different language with which we to describe the music industry. Reuters, AP, NY Times, Washington Post, countless bloggers, stop using "implode" it makes you sound like everyone else.

I propose a use of a variety of verbs. Here are some appropriate headlines that I have generated that convey similar meanings and might even latch on to common contemporary memes:

"Recording Industry Records Record Lows"
"Music Fans, Musicians Hate DRM, RIAA"
"Draconian Recording Industry Kills Last Loyal Customer"
"Music Industry Going Bankrupt"
"Music: Kate Perry Nominated For a Grammy"
"Music: Indie Hipster Trend Spreads"

I went to Hayle's weblog and hers today was that she and Steve(?) are engaged. She sounds so happy.....reminds me of someone elses I know.

I am totally out of it- what's going on with the media industry. I don't really follow the news anymore.

That's okay, I'm not sure if Kristen's snort is a good snort or a commentary of some kind on my retort.

It's the good kind. I can tell for two reasons - 1. Kristen is nice.
2. Your comment is funny.
