John,
There are about five or six things that have brought us to where we are.
The ease of home recording. Computers, plug ins and then cell phones, and home video cameras, made everyone a star.
KARAOKE, which allowed anyone to sing no matter how badly.
Television and reality talent shows.
The Internet, which allowed anyone a platform that they could use.
Social networking sites like Facebook, Snap chat, Twitter, and whatever develops this afternoon that will be gone by tomorrow, that allows anyone to put themselves anywhere.

It put thirty-fifty million "artists" into the pipeline, a billion songs a month into the pipeline.
The "Copycat culture" ensues, talent plummets through the basement, and the culutre and the audience's acceptance of mediocrity, are all things that have contributed.
