Well, no, substantially more people are complaining. Bands, because there's no money in it any more unless you are one of the top 10 bands. No, it wasn't always that way - many, many more bands were able to make money from music than now. As a fan, with no credible music press to help discern the good from the shit you'll just never hear about the really good bands because the signal gets lost in the noise of all the shit. The same thing is happening in publishing; endless dross churned out meaning that the good books are harder and harder to identify.

Throw darts until you find a band you like. Then, go to their Facebook/Bandcamp/Soundcloud/Last.fm page and you'll find a bunch of "if you like this you'll like these" links to other bands, or even a list of musicians the band endorses. This is the modern equivalent of flipping through the radio.
