But covers and content was still the same - it was more like "pick up disc color you like"

Now you writing about fanatics, not fans. Also who else is buying multiple copies? People who want to earn later reselling brand new 1st Press few months or years after release.

It's like that since a very long time, so it's not only new generation. In Japan young people used to love anything related to USA, especially music. It's the same in Europe - western music is distributed globally and that's giving a people feeling of it's splendor over local artists (as kind of "world standard"), not counting the fact that a lot of local artists trying to follow styles popular in US, sing in english etc.
