[Chromatic]

Another thing to consider is that music itself has been devalued quite a bit during the last 20 years. Buying a record, running home, throwing it on and listening to it while you go through the booklet on cd or vinyl is a thing of the past for all but the most dedicated listeners.

Cell phones, apps, ps4, xbone, facebook, twitter, etc. There's a ton more entertainment venues for people than there was in the past. The casual listener that would have been reading that lyric booklet 20 years ago is now doing other things.

Music is more of a background thing for a lot of casual listeners nowadays.
