Maybe. There's nothing stopping people finding these under-appreciated acts and styles though. You could scan through a few threads on this forum and find a few hundred artists you've maybe never listened to before.
But you could argue that thanks to the internet and social media, there is too much competition. Anyone can get their tunes out there in this day and age through their own efforts. The prime issue is that there's far too much of it and so much of it is crap.
But all the shallow pop nonsense still sells and brings in the millions...I suppose some people just like the radio. It's just "one of those things".
