I don't think it's a coincidence that the decline happened totally in parallel to the emergence of the big 4 labels.
In the 60s & 70s it was more of a level playing field. There were no such thing as indie labels because there was no monopoly to be independent from. There were literally hundreds of labels looking to have hit singles & albums. As time went on monopolies were formed labels got bigger & started buying out smaller ones , taking over radio playlists with MTV speeding up the process until we get to how things are now with 4 huge companies dominating virtually everything & loads of small labels who can't even get a sniff in.

Yeah i must admit it puzzling. I think laziness has impacted so many people in all aspects of their life these days. I certainly think that people are less open to be different these days than in the past. In Britain todays youth is mainly indistinguishable from one another. I suppose it is easier to follow the crowd for some instead of being in the front of a brand new one.
