Excellent video! Having grown up during the 70s when rock and roll was great but not so easy to obtain, I can definitely relate to your comments, particularly regarding the value of music in the old days. However, I think there are other reasons popular music declined, starting in the 90s. I was never into rap or grunge, which hardly sounds like music to me. Also, you need to look at the social and political factors that affected musical trends from the 50s through the 80s, like teen rebellion, civil rights, the Vietnam War, psychedelic drugs, women's liberation, gay liberation, etc. Now I'd say there are little or no social issues that get translated into great music, which was very much the case during the latter half of the 20th century.
