You have spent the past year banging on how America is the fountain of all modern music but now it all sucks until 10 years ago?
Jazz, Blues, Rock n Roll are the fountains of modern music created by America yet they seemingly don't exist when it suits you?
Downloads have a bearing on listeners attitudes but they are not the be all and all.
How do u think Metallica got such a huge fan base? It certainly wasn't the damn internet. It was word of mouth and collective fans serious about music that spread the word. In fact Metal fans are one of the main reasons why the internet took off.
In no other niche of music will you find fans ready to share music and hype bands.
