There will always has been and always will be shitty music, and over commercial copycat shite, and good shite, and really out there shite, regardless of the accessability or not.
Wether it`s bands playing punk on cheap junk shop instruments or kids using software, music is no more accessable, it is just presentable in different forms.

Sounds like the moaning gimboid is just pining for more money.
Well you should have told him to try harder and make better music, rather than looking for excuses.
