No, if I were to dedicate my time, energy, and money to digging up lost and niche works, then it would be within anime.

Maybe we are talking past each other. I don't get the impression you talk about hearing all denpa-kei stuff out there. Neither am I. However, I'd say that if a fan actually clears out all which is collected in this threads resources, then the number of remaining denpa-kei songs is so small that they are reduced to curiosities rather than the topic of a "deeper" community. As an example, some time ago Manikyua-dan albums were posted (was that you?). While I did listen to and appreciate those albums, they are more of a dead end or a one-off curiosity then something from which further music turns up. Learning about them doesn't lead to something new for the denpa listener. Compare that to an anime fan opening their eyes to the OVAs from the same period because they learned of a director who made a couple. From that perspective, it doesn't take much to reach a state which I'd call close enough to "running out". When I look into twitter profiles and defunct blogs of artists I like, they rarely end up at unknown names, and that's been the case for a long time now. Though I'll admit this may just be my own ignorance talking. Regarding the OVA comparison, that too is a subsphere where a person can "run out" within just a few years. Though resources like MAL and AniDB massively reduce the "unknown unknowns".
