I agree this may be true with a majority of main-stream music, but I
would say that we have more musical talent available now than any time before. There are many small artists on Bandcamp and Soundcloud for example who have alot of talent and have much better lyrics and musical ability than main-stream music.

Unfortunately, due to the difficulty and expense of marketing and accessing the dinosaur radio & media markets, great artists sometimes don't get the airtime. But, one could say that the music market has changed and people don't really listen to "FM" radio and such any more.

As a singer-songwriter that can't make a living at it, I must agree.

I'm very popular locally - write my own stuff - do covers as well - put
on a great show - the whole bit. But my music is not 'mainstream' enough
to 'sell.'

I've accepted it. Been an off and on musician since I was 13. I'm now 50
and know that particular dream won't happen, but doesn't keep me from
going out there and having as much fun as I can have while making other
folks happy. :-)
