I'm not arguing that music hasn't always had bad stuff in it, and that often the worst of it was the most marketable

I'm just saying there seems to be a noticeable upward trend in the widespreadness of it, and of the American public's desire to hear it

I feel that.

We're probably on the same page.

I just refuse to allow the common "music was better then" argument by the old-timers who base their argument off of popularity/radio-play. There's amazing music now too; just using different channels to find it, thanks to the internet.
