Storage technology’s impact on the evolution of music

I can watch this animation on www.concerthotels.com over and over again.

Wow – what happened between 1980 and 2000? I can think of a few things…

  • Digital recording created new formats.
  • Digital storage created new media.  
  • Personal computing enabled new musicians to invent new forms of music.
  • The internet created an entirely new medium and distribution channel.

My question is: what music trends did the cloud, social media, mobility (the technologies of 2000 to 2010) give birth to that are not depicted in this infographic?
