I will hopefully one day have children and I plan to let them experience a very wide range of music because I have a theory that the reason that people by this sh*t is they don't know what music is. I may be crazy but music should take you on a journey in a emotional or intellectual sense, some music makes a statement and voices an opinion, some are displays of lyrical excellence, and some is structured to enhance your physical state to "bring you up" and to let go and dance around the fire so to speak. Anger is not a good emotion for music to create and that is all that Pop music seems to bring out in me.
Out of all this the main thing that upsets me is my generation ( all 20-30 year olds) has had some incredible music come through and there could be allot more of it if investors wouldn't keep backing this fast food pop music. We are pumped with it through the radio and T.V 24/7 and when I get older future generations will look back and think what a complete waste of time that musical era was.
In the past two years Westlife broke the Beatles record for UK NO.1's and Bob the Builder was the best selling record of the year 2000...... It might be just me but that just sounds wrong.
