Why do our traditional buskers disappear today?

Generally speaking, it is because they are slowly being eliminated by the times.

In ancient times, the scope of information exchange was very limited, and the entertainment of the ancients was relatively simple, so those traditional artists who performed on the street could easily get everyone's support. As long as your skills are superb enough and your performances are wonderful enough, it is relatively easy to make a living by busking.

Nowadays, the society has entered an era of rapid information development. Many people are flooded with all kinds of information every day, and with the diversification of entertainment methods, it is really difficult for street performers to make a living by selling arts. Who doesn't want to stay in bed after a busy day? Even if you want to find an entertainment way to relieve stress, brushing Tik Tok, brushing Aauto faster, or brushing Weibo are all good ways.

And there is another reason why street performers are rarely seen now, that is, many people are impetuous now, and it takes time and patience to learn skills. Now everyone is fighting for a better life, such as houses, cars, tickets and so on. These things can't be exchanged by street performers. After all, the income of street performers is really too small.

And basically all families regard knowledge education as the top priority in the process of children's growth. Some street performers in ancient times had to learn all kinds of skills from childhood, and it took a long time to master them ... but now, it seems that any normal family would want their children to learn these skills if they took the time to learn a hopeless skill?

Therefore, the gradual disappearance of street performers in ancient times is the inevitable result of social development, because those who can't keep up with the pace of the times will eventually be eliminated by society, and unless street performers can play new tricks, their life will be extended.
