Atlanta is changing faster than ever. There has been an incredible boom in the film and tech industries, mixed-use developments are popping up all over the metro area and Atlanta has a new city planner.

Yet, as the gentrification narrative often goes, some communities are feeling the brunt more than others with the increasing rents, taxes and everything else that goes along with development. For the past few years, Atlanta has topped the charts for cities with the most income inequality.

Music writer and critic Guillermo Castro has written an article in “Immersive Atlanta,” an online music publication of which Castro is a founder and editor, about how all these changes are affecting the independent music scene in Atlanta.

Castro said the music community, like many aspects of the city, was affected by development in 2015 and by Atlanta’s current identity crisis.

“A lot of people talk about this city as being, for all the great things that are happening, a very disconnected city, and that’s socially, economically, racially,” Castro said. “There are artists who work across genre lines and work with different kinds of people, but for the most part, even if you ask the artists themselves, they feel sort of segregated.”
