I think as time goes by, music becomes more eclectic mainly because of the technological evolution. It's like an upside down pyramid. Techonology is developing, musical instruments are developing, human minds are developing (not necesarry in a better way) and the resources and influences are more varied.
If you had a band in the 60's you didn't had much options, you could be La Monte Young, you could be John Lennon, you could be Coltrane or a classical guy. Time formed new and new generations of artists and an influence for a 2007 band is more varied. Over that the highly increasing technological evolution, in terms of sound, is burying the root and is showcasing a relatively new product, and for a journalist a new brand name.
