That it's plastic garbage is your worthless opinion; that they like it because of how it makes them appear is a baseless accusation rooted in very little genuine reality at all.

Pop musicians (for the most part, especialy contemporary pop musicians) are not selling music that they invested passion and expression into, they have catchy little jingles.
So what? Is there something wrong with that? That's one possibility for what you can do with sound and it resonates with the majority of people.

The media tells these people what music to listen to, society tells these people what to listen to, it's the only thing they are exposed to.
Are you feeling alright? THEY'RE NOT DEDICATED MUSIC FANS! What part of that do you NOT understand? Most people listen to music to fit a certain mood, situation or occasion. They have no interest in music beyond that. Get a blinkin' clue. Since they have no interest in music beyond that, it's perfectly alright that they get what they DO listen to from what is provided by being immersed in society and popular culture.

Seriously, grow the hell up. Your tastes are no better than anybody else's. There's probably more talent in your standard run-of-the-mill pop like Akon or whatever than there is in your useless Oomph and extreme metal rubbish. Go GET a clue, mate.
