The young population is what gave Maroon 5 their bppst, then it came to Lady Gaga, then Lil Wayne, and so on.

If younger populations can be persuaded to listen to, even take a look into, rock and metal music, there is a chance that type of music could get a boost it has lost in the last decade. As Corey Taylor of Slipknot noted metal is losingg any attention of the mainstream media, that indeed is very real and scary.

What do you think?
I think its time to throw in the towel. Metalheads are a dying breed. Good luck with your plight. Throws on Carly Rae Jepsen.
