Actually the take away is that music used to be controlled by a very tiny group of record labels and recording studios were expensive and out of reach of most musicians and songwriters.
Music used to be a lot more cookie-cutter and generic prior to the digital age where high-quality recordings are available to anyone with a computer, access to the internet, a little research (tutorials) on how to make high-quality recordings, and a small investment in studio equipment. (Microphones, acoustics, mic stands & screens, musical instruments, etc.)
It's why genre mixing (genre blending) used to be so rare, but now is so common.
The arguments in this thread against modern music fall into 2 categories:
1. Boomer mentality (OK Boomers)
Selecting the best from the past and comparing it to the worst of the present.
2. People still blindly following what the big record labels are pushing today instead of looking for music on their own.
