Musicians are more likely to stick around these days because you can get a small piece of the pie instead of just immediately dying off if no label or radio station will pick you up.

The underground is dying though due to a plethora of other forms of entertainment. Shows were a great spot to get some social interaction, but people just don't go out as much anymore and are more likely to do discord and videogames instead of hitting up a basement, bar, cafe, or warehouse.
