I've been against the "You've GOT to like it, everybody does" mentality for longer than a lot of the people who post here have been alive. Shitty pop music is nothing new; it's aimed at a public mentality that would actually spend their time watching "Pro" wrestling or "Reality" shows (read: soap opera) on TV, It's the public willingness to accept a diet of crap that enables the media giants to hire illiterate writers with the creative ability of a dead buffalo and make unGodly amounts of money doing it. Any Sci-Fi fans out there; read C.M Kornbluths "The Marching Morons" and see if you can find any parallels. Note : "The Marching Morons" was written about 45 years ago, but it sure sounds like today.
