People like to think they are more experimental and mindful than their ancestors were, but in the end, they were people just like us, singing about the same themes and trying to have as much fun as possible with the tools at their disposal.

I wasn't actually suggesting that current musicians are more innovative today then they were say, in the '60s for example. Maybe I should have clarified my statement better but I was suggesting about the availability and access musicians have these days compared to 20, 30, or 40 years ago with the internet and technology of modern times.
There is currently only 4 major recording companies compared to hundreds of them 20 years ago. I was mainly just suggesting that modern musicians have a little more independence today getting their music out to an audience in comparison to prior decades.
