Agree
I think the industry itself creates these markets and brands.
Because there is not a doubt in my mind that if the industry promoted and marketed acts like Janelle Monae they would be just as popular. I think the industry purposely chooses to market certain artists and certain songs over others because they want a particular brand of music to sell.
If kids are only exposed to the Gaga's or the Bieber's that is only thing they are going to have to judge by. People just listen to what is easily accessible not necessarily because its prolific.
Take Miguel for instance, he makes some of the most blandest non catchiest music known to man (come me a snob or a elist I dont care its true) but ...he is oddly widely popular, do people honestly think this is by coincidance?
The same with Frank Ocean who doesnt have marketbable looks (although I do think his cute) and okay music but the industry decided to promote him therefore he was successful.
So all this talk about so and so isnt marketbable is all bull**** because there have been successful artists who dont have catchy music or marketbable looks who have been successful ex. Adele...
