I'm not really sure if music is all that meritocratic. In some circles, sure, but the mainstream seems to be dominated by pretty faces propped up by major labels.

This does seem to be changing for the better thanks to the Internet, but there's still a very long way to go.

One thing for sure is that no industry in the world is all that meritocratic. But Music and Sports (even with the mainstream whitewash) for sure has a better social and racial distribution than any other industry I can think of.
