The Loudness Wars is a legitimate thing, but it gives sixties purists too much ammo to be a compelling rallying cry. We're more concerned with those people going away than saving music.
But why is it even a legit thing when there is a volume control? I have problems where music I find online isn't loud enough like on YouTube.

I don't understand what you are getting at about Sixties purist, everyone is a purist of some sort even Metalheads.
