The drawback is that bands with huge appeal that span generations or styles don’t occur anymore. Everybody can explore their own unique tastes. So if your looking at bands to fill huge stadiums...it’s not going to be current.

It’s amazing how accessible music is now. I’ve been collecting music for 30 years, back in the 90’s you’d spend hours pawing through boxes of LP’s in the hope of finding something. Nowadays I use YouTube, no necessarily to collect music but to find it.
Everthing is on YouTube. Then if I want a hard copy I can get it pretty easily online as well. I like a lot of classic rock, 90’s techno and old R&B, nowadays there are thousands of internet radio channels. Just for those genres alone. Back when I was a kid we had one AM radio station in town, and if you hooked the cable up to the antenna on your receiver you could get a few decent stations like CFOX out of Vancouver, and that was it.
I feel like music is doing okay right now. There’s some fairly decent artists out there at the moment
