Yes, the popular ones. But I don't think that's any different than how it used to be.
And if anything, it's far easier now to find all kinds of obscure artists playing in obscure genres. We don't have to rely on a label deciding whether or not a band is sellable to a large enough audience.

It's a double edged sword. There were always small labels that catered to very specific audiences. Nowadays, with so much noise, its more difficult for an 'eclectic' artist to find their audience.
