Since we're talking about a subjective judgment, sure. We're in the midst of a major revolution in music distribution. While revenues are down, people are listening to more music than ever before, and getting more choice in what they can listen to.

If you define a rut as "not undergoing mainstream stylistic revolution" then sure, we're in a rut.
