I actually think that there is some sort of middle ground, because some of those (not man, granted) bedroom artists are damn talented. And some of them DO work their butts off.
It's just a bigger playing field now, and harder for working musicians -- even talented, hard-working musicians -- to make an honest living doing what they love. (And what they're good at.)
Also, I am the first to admit that I do not work hardly at all at the business end of things; this is my avocation, not my vocation. So take my outsider observations for what they are. OUTSIDER (uninformed) observations from someone who just loves to play and is hoping to stumble into some sort of success.
And, I also love to play devil's advocate... stir the pot a bit on occasion. Hopefully I don't offend.

"Do not endeavor to be the smartest kid in a dumb class. Instead, you are better off being the dumbest kid in the smartest class, where you will be challenged and you will learn. If you aren't growing, you are dying." -Brian Austin Whitney
