1980-81, when punk rock and rap emerged. Punk "emerged" in 1976 (roots going back considerably further), by 1981 it was already dead. That doesn't line up at all with the analysis.

There's a paragraph you left out that tells a lot more: "One thing that moves many people to seek digital downloads is that they only want two or three songs off a given CD, and are reluctant to pay $20 for several songs they won't listen to." Albums with only 1-2 good songs have been forever prevalent, even in the 60s, 70s, and the 80s (when only 'real music' was written, of course). Today, we don't have to buy them. That's a major factor for declining CD sales right there.
