This reminds me of a discussion I had with my friend a whole back. I am going to quote him here. It may come off as long or hard to understand, but he made a great point. :)

"All this bubblegum pop crap gets so old. The talentless artists that just want to get rich quick out of selling out what's left of music even farther do it out of greed and get popular, and you have people running around "lyk OMG ke$ha is sooo awsum!!!11" thinking that they are so amazing when they are just butchering an art form and out-letting the shallowness of it all into the corporate media. Then this leaves artists with skill stuck in the underground, like Picture Me Broken. They are barely known, but after hearing their lead singer, I think that she could outsing at LEAST most of the pop industry. This is what happens when MTV touches anything, they send music down the tubes. I mean, they turned grunge into generic radio-rock, turned a good fraction of metal into stuff that makes people think "d00d i m sooo h4rdkor3!!!!111 lolololol!!!11" when all they do is whine in a mic, play two power chords, get a cookie-cutter drumbeat, and wa-lah, new single. Compare that radio rock to the legend in the bottom link, BIG difference! I swear, sometimes I feel like I was born in the wrong time. As if I should have been born earlier, so I could have grown up during the rise of legendary metal bands. Sure there was pop back then too, and not all the convenient technology, but there was music with promise, it was real. If only it was possible to make a metal band with homage to the greats that could get somewhere big in modern times, that could change music, just to remind people of where we could be, maybe give rebirth to a much-needed revolution. If only if only. Well, just realized I got way off topic ._. uber rant. My apologies."
