I beg to differ, there's a lot of NEW, great music out there but people like you just don't care to explore/search out/find it so the industry pumps out this crap because the general public will eat it up. Since the popularization of itunes almost anyone can release and sell their own music online, it's not like it was 15 years ago where you had to be signed under a major label just to get your record album up for sale. Not sure but I've heard that there are twice as many record labels and higher concert revenues today than there were 20 years ago. It's not the music industry thats hurting, it's the 5 record labels that 20 years ago controlled 90% of the industry and made billions that are the ones hurting.
