1. Music is cheap, you can get access to vast catalogues of music for 10dollars a month
2. Music creation is widely accessible, cheap (laptop, a microphone and some software) and in lots of ways easier.
Nobody will ever convince me that prices of goods going down is a bad thing. Or that it's bad that people can get more for less.
What you won't get is the same feeling of having to save money to go to a record store to buy an album, go home and have a whole dedicated listening session. Obviously music collection you worked your ass off to buy and collect and share with your friends will have way more meaning compared to just typing in the artist in spotify or youtube.
The music can't get worse... because all the great recordings of the past are readily widely available.
And loads of good music is still being made, maybe the "mainstream" popular music has become worse, but it has never been "good" to begin with.
