Regarding the comment about hypocrisy... I'm not so sure I'd go that far. Our generation came in on the other side of the pendulum swing, when live music was everywhere, all the time. Much of it was horrible, because the market would bear it. Unprofessional behavior was the rule more than the exception. Many of us wished for a way to make the kind of music we wanted to make without being drug down or forced to follow in the footsteps of people whose vision was different than ours... and music software allows us to finally get there. Unfortunately, a million other people got there at the same time, so it didn't make us as unique as we'd hoped.

For those who have lived a full musical experience (playing both in bands and then also in solo acts) it is natural to mourn the decline of live music playing opportunities. Our parents mourned the end of music as they enjoyed it, but their music never died, it just became a niche in a larger, more diverse body of musical styles and types of performance.
