The information age has had a major impact on the accessability of music and allows people to consume, share, and cause the industry to drown people's heads in a plethora of artists. Quality over quantity. And by quality I mean spending quality time with the music, and it should really be a matter of moderation between familiarization with the artists and the amount of artists you have. The human mental environment for (us) music consumers is continuously being pressured and convinced into consuming more music; similar to the advertising industry convincing to consume more commodities. It's really a matter of resistance and spending time with what you currently have. It's better to be a less wealthy person appreciating a sandwich than a rich person having 20 sandwiches and not taking time to enjoy them.
On the contrary, it's nice that we have any music available to us due to technology, and as rational human beings we can choose what to and what not to listen to.
Thanks for bringing this up.
