Why bands are disappearing: "Young people aren’t excited by them" (www.theguardian.com)

I was looking into why I just don't see cover bands at my local venue but this hits a bit deeper at the issue.

I wonder if how niche music tastes have become has something to do with it.

I understand the sentiment but I disagree. I've found the best music ever from producers and bands formed after my 20s and 30s.

I just won't be seeing them in local venues anytime soon because almost all of them are from outside of the US and aren't in the "top 40" spotlight.
