I think its more systemic than that. Lets be real honest, music today is sh!t. Its pop or rap or hip-hop and basically garbage. Rock is officially dead and the last original creative person to have emerged in the last decade (I'm sorry to say) was Kurt Cobain. I spend more listening time in retro land listening to music created 20, 30 or 40 years ago than listening to the current profanity riddled "Dr. Suess" rhyming gangsta crap!

Wow, you really summed it up. Rock yeah, may be dead but not quite. There's a pulse and it could be revived.
Really like your comment about rap. I've always felt it was nursery rhymes with curses for idiots.
As for Kurt, well all this fame and fortune, I can't stand it. Where's my rifle?
Still like checking out some house, but the staples are the blues and jazz now for me. There's still a great deal going on with artists in these genres.
And at least they are honestly creating culture albeit, largely overlooked.
Check out Eric Lewis via google. And if you can see him live, wow!!!
