I'm a librarian and space is such an issue for archives. Also, like the library as a whole, it's an afterthought. We were going to get brand new expanded, state of the art space in the library for our archives & special collections, but after years of planning and fund raising, the university administration decided to turn that space into offices. That's why you encounter burnout among archivists or seemingly disorganized spaces, or sheer panic at the thought of incoming materials.

Rock music isn’t dead. It disappeared from the mainstream music scene when album radio died in the ‘90s.

Once that format for exposure of rock music died, so did the next generation’s consciousness of rock and roll.

But the Foo Fighters are alive and rocking, and bands established online, like Greta VanFleet, are doing well.

The fact that so many heritage rock artists are still selling albums (Zeppelin, Stones, The Who, Van Halen, etc) proves there’s an audience for rock music. It’s just increasingly difficult for rock artists to get established in today’s world of mostly disposable pop music.
