It's some of both, but mostly it's just capitalism.
Up until the 90s many bands would be found by a record exec who would travel the country looking for popular local bands then giving them a record deal which would be promoted as "the hot new thing" the Go-Gos and Nirvana are examples. Also there were manufactured bands. C&C music factory, backstreet boys, milli vanilli, etc. The mantufactured bands would appeal to children, especially pre-teen girls, who spent lots on music and merch. The found bands would generally appeal to the teen-early 20s crowd who still spent a good chunk on music and merch.
The found bands would, if they were dumb, be locked into draconian contracts by the jews and die poor. Prince is a good example of this. If you were a reasonably smart white guy, Metallica, you could work within this system and only have about half of your money stolen by jews.
It's an open secret that if you want a hit song you have to appeal to retards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YFHD7kuAqu4 Thoughout the 80s and 90s it became clear that making music for niggers and wiggers,who are retards, was more profitable than trying to find popular local bands that might not translate to popular national bands. Unemployed niggers flush with gibs would spend money on rap, while whites would just pirate the music they liked or listen to Mozart, they spent too much time at work, paying rent and re-listening to the music of their youth to be profitable.
As such the industry shifted from finding quality local bands to manufactured crap that appeals to niggers and children. That's why good new music will get 17k views on jewtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfFX5m4Bh4I because of zero promotion and a nigger yelling at it's pussy has millions of promo money.
It's just good business, hurting whites and destroying culture is just a bonus effect.
The gangsta rap era also has much to do with the private prison industry. But, that's another rabbit hole to go down entirely.
There are so many well thought out responses to this. This one makes a ton of sense
It occurred to me not long ago that NPCs can't enjoy music. A guy I was talking to said "I don't like metal because I can't follow it." I responded, "You mean you can't enjoy each instrument individually and contemplate their interactions because it's too fast?" He looked at me like I was a serial killer. This was around the time that it was revealed that redditors are NPCs incapable of actual thought. They have no inner monologue and can't visualize. Their reactions are strictly based on social programming and instincts.
Around that time I was listening to Mgła and my gf said it was boring. It occurred me to me she was incapable of understanding that the drums are the melody. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wcsTJ1n2jkE She couldn't hear the individual cymbals and how the backbeat was being woven into the fabric of the fills, all she could hear is a wall of noise with droning guitars and inarticulate lyrics. All the dynmics were lost on her due to her (slightly above) average intellect. Something like a Djembe drummer with a rhythm of literally only 2 sounds she could follow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMs3LTtgwY8
to be fair, a player of the cymbals and drums is just a glorified infant beating on pots and pans in his parents kitchen, which is why it resonates so strongly with blacks; if it must be included, it must be treated like salt, not like your example where is equal in importance to the guitar.
