[QUOTE="gingergenius, post: 189780"] agreed, although populist music has always been crap, it's not just nowadays. Think of those godawful soppy singers from the 60s, ABBA were from the 70s, both eras these people seem to look back on nostalgically. As well as the manufactured ****, today magazines like the NME have created a way for people to listen to music, thinking that they're being alternative because it's not pop music, when it's equally rubbish. I've heard all these sorts rave about the Kooks and all these new indie bands and act like they're the pinnacle of good music. This sort of person often does like good indie stuff as well and prides themselves on knowing all about Arcade Fire and Battles (both good bands...) However I find as soon as I play them anything hiphoppy or reggae-ey it's "TURN THAT **** OFF". I just wish that people would realise that a good music taste is a wide and diverse one, not just one that religiously follows one type and dismisses others as inferior. [/QUOTE]
