Yes you can say the internet gives more exposure but there's less & less money in it meaning independents can't afford to function and bands have no time to develop their music. And with the amount of music around it becomes a much more disposable commodity and the whole thing just becomes a melee of bands desperate for your attention with the better ones finding it even harder to stand out.
Sadly, this is what I see.

Especially with the way the world powers are going to shape up in 30-40 years. Freedom of expression is going to decrease, if anything. Music will likely, over time, become a form of sedation rather than expression, like it was a thousand years ago. Especially once it begins to become invasive. You'll be able to make your tunes that respond emotionally with you for sure, but will you be able to show them to anybody? Will you ever make people feel the way you felt? Fat chance.
