I've known several musicians over the years. Things are steadily getting worse.

  There are also more and more musicians (because the cost of making professional quality music has declined drastically). The Law of Supply & Demand again is in play. More musicians => less pay for each.

    Musicians are more likely to stick around these days because you can get a small piece of the pie instead of just immediately dying off if no label or radio station will pick you up. The underground is dying though due to a plethora of other forms of entertainment. Shows were a great spot to get some social interaction, but people just don't go out as much anymore and are more likely to do discord and videogames instead of hitting up a basement, bar, cafe, or warehouse.
