If you ever get tired when listening to music for a long time,
or found music to sound flat and non-dynamic then this may be the reason why.
In most cases this is not a artistic choice but a marketing choice sadly, and a wrong one at that.
Watch the video (and optionally some of the other related/suggested videos there)
And read the Wikipedia article.
Be aware of WHAT you buy, because you are paying for it both through your wallet and your enjoyment of the music later.
