> Consider the recent reaction when the Grammy Awards were postponed. Perhaps I should say the lack of reaction, because the cultural response was little more than a yawn. Never actually watched the grammies... but would think the decline in cultural significance is similar macro factors to TV. Streaming has allowed for audience to be fragmented across content, so mega-hit culturally shared songs everyone knows are less common. Whenever I look at US Top 50 on Spotify I pretty much only recognize the mega artists who have been around for 10 years & the rest are Hip Hop artists who I might have heard of but am not interested in. These 'popular' songs are just the most popular of the largest sub-culture, you aren't going to be hearing many of them in bars, clubs or the gym.
