Traditionally, more complex circumstances influence a rise in simple and accessible popular music. That concept could just be a reductionist view of the relationship between pre-WWII and post-WWII music, but are there any modern factors that you have in mind with this prediction? I think that the more that people rely on art as a distraction from their lives, the less patience they have for something that challenges them and it sure seems like most people find noise pretty challenging.
