None of the comic stores have Johnny the Homicidal Maniac, none of the music stores have Busdriver, and none of the game stores have System Shock 2. Is retail dying?

It's not retail that's dying, it's retail STOREFRONTS.

People are fucking lazy, and will pay extra to have shit shipped to them.

Because the internet is larger and hosts more people than standard retail could ever, it reaches out to those in the sub genres and sub cultures you posted.
