Pop music geared towards 14 year olds has been around since the 60s. It's not new.

Bringing down the big record companies gave risse to the indie movement. More independent record labels and bands have more incentive to go on tour. Music today is better than it was twenty years ago. The 90s and early 00s were rough

You listen to jambands and indie

You're way off on the distant edges of the music industry

I hope you don't honestly think that

I think yall are missing my point

Have you turned on a radio recently? That wasn't jazz/oldies/indie/jambands/etc?

I agree, but it just seems that now it has consumed and generally dominates every considerable genre.

There's teen trash in country, rock, rap, pop, punk. indie, folk, etc.

All that folk-y rock Mumford and Sons shite

Thats considered indie

That's a result of the record companies finding a marketable audience segment

And it fricking blows

Yes and there are stations for every genre. What is the problem here?

Every era of music has bad parts to it. You just don't hear about older ones because they have been recognized as crap and largely forgotten about.

Mumford and Sons

I feel like a lot of you are in serious denial about the state of the world we live in right now

Because if I keep going I'll start sounding like a crazy person I guess I'll just quit while I'm ahead on this argument

If you really think this hipster yodeling is the best music produced in the last 15 years, you need to get out more.

I'm clearly absolutely fricking crazy. You don't think people had to wade through filth back then too?
quote:

the creation of this entire industry of music created for 14 year old girls was made because
there is a need/market for it; as there has been for decades. Luckily people are still delivering music to 14 year girls. That has nothing to do with the caliber of music for non-14-year-old-girls.

Yep. Don't listen to it. Doesn't change the albums being made for dirt cheap, sold through itunes, shared on the internet, shared on satelitte radio, shared on small fm stations, etc.
