I got the same perspective from talking about this question with some of the IT people at a record label that I work for. In the 70's you had nothing to do but sit in your room, listen to records, and do LSD. In this decade there are all kinds of things to do, even if you don't leave your house. Music is just background noise for whatever it is that you're really doing. Its not the focus anymore.
