Music industry is in crisis, and the reason for both is that junk records are marketed hard so people buy them, and this poisons further sales to the client because people stop trying new things.
And we're not talking about experimental crazy junk. We're talking abour safe-investment knockoff junk that markets as AAA but is really B or C.

Were things any different in the past really? There was always the mass market junk including the one marketed by the big publishers.
In the past we have things like Jethro Tull which are both popular, critically acclaimed and good for every piece. And we have a lot of that.
Everything we have today is either mass market junk or only appealing to a narrow demographic or an experimental kludge.
I listen to a lot of kludges and one-trick ponies these days, but I can see it's not how it was, and popularity (of music as whole) reflects that.
