Sorry dude, that's the way the world works. Everyone everywhere is out to make money, and anyone who's not gets left behind.

That doesn't mean there aren't very talented niche bands out waiting to burst on to the scene and be given a chance by a major record label. It's just that Sony would rather sign an X Factor act. Money or not, the 80s was a better era than we have now from the likes of Bieber and Sheeran.
It depends what artists want, if they are happy to manufacture themselves for the masses and money - then that is their decision but some do it for the pleasure. Capitalism has destroyed the soul of so many things and I would love to see a return to socialism or a more communist stance on things.
