There's some truth to that, but then a lot of it stems from the hugely increased volume (pun intended) of people making that type of music now than then. Whenever a genre becomes more popular, it seems the number of original artists stays about the same, while the number of people copying a small handful of defining techniques and not much else skyrockets exponentially.
