| It's all crap! Or is it? I just want to remind everyone that just because YOU think it's crap, doesn't mean it is. Sure there are several artists we could name that we think are crap but that doesn't mean there isn't someone out there who genuinely enjoys that artists "music". To say that all music is crap is very generic. As an example, for every person who doesn't like Britney Spears, there are 4 that do. It's the same with any artist. You can't blindly claim music sucks just because YOU don't like it. There's a reason why some of these artists sell what they sell and get away with selling. Why on earth would Britney still be around if she was "crap"? I mean, there is no reason I can personally think of for her to be where she is today. The same can be said for MANY artists. They're not just there because the music industry pushes them. If an artist sells 10 CD's, why would you bother to keep them around? If an artist sells 8,000,000 there is no logical reason to throw them out. What...because you personally think their music is crap they should just off the artist? LOL. Let's be realistic here. These artists are around because SOMEBODY is going out there and buying tickets to their concerts. SOMEBODY is out there buying their CD's. SOMEBODY out there is sitting at home downloading this "crappy" music.
Just thought I'd put things into perspective. Artists don't exist because they're "good". They exist because we LET them exist.

| Perhaps because most people can't be bothered about music and just suck up what comes out? I know people who mostly just listen to radio music (not everybody buys cds you know), and they're complaining about the crap out there too. Sure, some don't, and a lot couldn't be bothered either.
I'd say popular mtv music is kinda like how fast food is to food. It's not great by any stretch of the imagination, but it's marketed aggressively as hell, and for most of the public who don't care about music (as a hobby), you know, people who just listen to the radio if anything, it's just there. I doubt if you can get many people who say "omg! Kentucky Fried Chicken kicks ass!" but look at any KFC outlet and sure enough it's packed most of the time.
I know parents who buy a bunch of cds for their kids as gifts, they have no idea what they're buying, they just walk in the store and see the "new releases" section. I also know a lot of kids just buy the latest thing because all of their friends bought it. Not every kid is savvy enough / has the means / opportunity / inclination to download.
You're hearing all this bitching here from people who (presumeably) actually like listening to music, and have favorite bands/songs and stuff, as opposed to people who don't care.

| Well, unfortunately I can't agree 100%. I agree that music now a days is very close to your fast food analogy but the fact remains, what music is to one person, isn't the same for the next. There are people who actually believe random noises thrown together is "music". Who are we to say it's not? Because we don't like it? That's a ridiculous notion. And that's what's pretty much going on here. None of us have the right to say that music is crap for EVERYONE. It's music, which is different to every single person. That is why there are so many genres. That is why there are so many artists. That's all I'm trying to say. You can't say that because YOU think it's crap, that is indeed crap. How does that saying go...
One person's trash is another person's treasure.
