Yes and No.
Again, I posted "talent has not ceased to exist." I would venture that x percentage of the general population has talent. A fairly static percentage. The whole of population has grown, so Yes, there is potentially "alot more talent out there these days"...
But I disagree with your "so many" position. There are very few labels, all owned by corporate conglomerates, no real (major) indies, and so very many aspiring 'artists'.
The 'cream' so to speak, used to rise to the top. I don't believe that to be the current case (with some notable exceptions, of course). It is a sea of mediocrity, or worse...
I'm sorry if this comes off wrong. I'm trying not to appear overtly negative. But I do feel you must first identify a problem exists, before it can be addressed.
Sorry for going so OT. Carry on.
