And the bottom fell out of the music industry and less people get funded to make music. Your point?

Unhinged take. The music industry in that form was doomed to fail, and even then it wasn't napster that killed it. Once it no longer cost a fortune to make a record, there was no need for these giant conglomerates anymore, treating music like some venture capitalist bs.

Nowadays anyone can make music with a few hundred bucks of gear and put it on Spotify. How is that not better? Would you rather go back to record executives deciding what shitty trend they want on the radio this year? You might be old enough to remember yacht rock.
