I think we've gone full circle from the 6 Transistor radios that teens listened to tinny, static-y mono AM rock'n'roll on.
Now thanks to MP3's, highly compressed satellite feeds and the loudness wars, we have audio just a little better than the old 6 transistors, but still distorted all to hell. Average consumer doesn't care though. As long as they can hear the latest Justin Bieber remix they're okay with it.
