We can only hope this leads to a new generation of people that want to write and play their instruments live, slinging guitars, basses and drums onstage as opposed to a laptop and a turntable.

Just to piggy back off this, I used to scoff at how you could find good new music that's underground, but it's not even hard to find anymore if you look at youtube. Lots of amateurs make their own music, and prog rock has been taken to a new level by young musicians. It's like guitar music never stopped evolving since it was last popular, and it's exciting discovering it. (check out sarah longfield for a good rabbit hole)
