I'm not argueing to the best of my knowledge, sorry if you feel that way.
I bet there are fewer people making a living as musicians as a percentage of the population than in the past.
Another interesting way to judge would be to look at relative longevity of music over time. What percentage of music created in a given year is still being bought or played. iTunes data could probably give you that easily or there is probably a Billboard top 1000 or more of all time. Not that just because it was popular means it was great musically, but it is better than nothing.
