I don't think for a minute that it's destroying music or the personal feel of it. It's giving people a chance to find their OWN idea of good music instead of being spoon fed packaged stars through the label-to-media system. The UK has definately had a noticable change of taste in the last 5 years and I have to think the internet has had a significant part in this. People have been able to hear things they normally wouldn't. Artists have found platforms that were impossible to stand on before. If anything, I'd say the amount of music people listen to and the time they spent with it is much higher than before because it's so accessable and easy (iPod etc). As far as I know, concerts are also still selling out and a night out to see a band/artist is still as popular as ever. The numbers are spread to more areas than before. Music hasn't been hurt, it's the old dinosaurs with the loud voices and their model of how things should be that has been hurt. Music's evolved, come with us - you might like it! :P
