It's not a baseless opinion it's reallity, open your eyes and look at the world (Do you live in the US?) Watch some TV it's pretty obvious.

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.
And that's why the music SUCKS!

Get a blinkin' clue. Since they have no interest in music beyond that...

...Your tastes are no better than anybody else's.
I actually DO have an interest in music beyond all of that BS which would on some level make my tastes, yes, better.

I mean, are my little doodles I draw in school just as good as Van Gough even though he invested passion and interest into his art (alot more that I do into mine)?

If so then why do his painting sell for millions but I couldn't pay someone to take mine? Because that's what art is for, passion and expression and pop music defecates on that principal.

Yeah , way to stick it to the man.
And still you refuse to read my posts. I've said this countless times, there is a difference between being recognised and being used as a watered down puppet to sell to a bunch of sheep. None of those bands are mainstream corporate giants, Metallica is a highly revered metal band which is different, but none of those bands are pandering to a cultural meme or image or creating lack luster music for the purpose of selling as much as possible.
