* No longer are people sucked into the radio aggregate of the 90's when all you could discover were boy bands.*

Don't be so sure about that. Labels still offer what they always excelled in- marketing. Bands that self-promote often have no idea what they're doing, and even when they do they are up against thousands of other bands making their best efforts at self-promotion.

Accessible music production + the internet != your music reaching it's audience. It's still a massive uphill climb. And most people are still listening to the radio and discovering boy bands.

Very true, untog. I just feel like Spotify should try and make that uphill climb.
