Is old music killing new music?

I am highly skeptical that if you stopped a random person on the street that they would be able to identify who Kanye West is.

I doubt the person who could not identify Kanye West could also identify nearly any other musician. Do you think they'd be able to identify John Lennon?

I have no idea. The scope of music seems so fragmented today. It's so big now.

People can burrow into a specific small set of bands and music styles and never ever need to move outside of it now.

It's seems quaint that 20 years ago my primary source of new music was SNL and late shows.

Now, spotify/pandora will give you entry to exactly what you want and keep giving it to you, forver.
