The era when the top tier of popular music regardless of genre resonated throughout the population and brought together listeners because of the incredible showcase of talent and artistry is a thing of the past. There’s just no music worth spending their money on, and no artists left who can unite the listenership en masse. Many listeners believe in the power and value of music.
