i totally agree. the impact is there it's just spread out a lot farther and thinner. i get the feeling mainstream music is in limbo right now. the technology and mediums available for distribution make it so that it's pretty much impossible for any band to really have the impact of a group like nirvana (as the most recent, and for the foreseeable future final, example)
it's not that i think rock music has peaked or that my generation's poop was golden, but everything about how people handled music changed in the late 90s. i really don't see how a group would be able to have the same impact now as when tv and radio were not just the primary methods of exposure but the ONLY methods of exposure.
