Keep in mind that music lost a lot of its cultural cache since your benchmark decade of the 90's. Mass culture isn't really the same as it was then. I remember Weird Al talking about doing a lot fewer parody songs just because fewer people recognize any given song.
Yeah there's still music out there, but if you don't know it that's not really your fault.
This is my whole point. Is streaming and music apps killing the massive songs like "Luke's Wall / War Pigs" , "Ohio", or "My Generation"?
It's just the internet making all media available, and streaming is the lowest friction way of giving people that access.
