The invention of phonographs, records, cd etc, didn’t mean that nobody appreciated live music anymore

I’ll argue with this one. The only live music anyone appreciates now is going to see world famous commercial artists made popular by their records, cds, etc.

Live music used to be: if you have some friends over and want to liven it up, one of them plays the piano. A pub has a live set of musicians who can read the room and play what people want at the tempo they want depending on if they want to dance or not.

You can say that people still appreciate live music because some of them still go out to the symphony, but the world of music from before was absolutely killed off by radio, records, etc. That world is alive in tiny pockets at best.
