I have a feeling that it will not become obsolete for the reasons that you have stated-
"They KNOW their style of music isn't financially viable, they do it out of love for performance."
and that despite a band's financial success, you will "continue to support the bands (you) love."
There are people creating and likewise people supporting.
dada21,
I understand what you are saying, but the horse-shoer or the gaslamp-lighter would be better analogized with someone whose job was to manufacture cassette tapes.
I should hope and expect that musicians (people) will continue to create and perform music. And that it's not something that will become obsolete - like horses as the main form of transportation.
