The music itself is also "disposable" relative to 50 years ago.... The "worth" of good popular music back then was deemed more valuable to mainstream consumers than the music that's being put out today.....
There's a lot more quantity now, and music is cheap.... So the "consumption" is up. But timeless music is what people are willing to pay for. People will pay a few bucks for a song to be cherished for a lifetime. But won't pay a nickel for a song that's for the moment but to be abandoned and forgotten in a couple months.
