And the so-called entrainment industry was, and is brain-washing our youth.
Rock is dead, said the Doors. I may add that metal is dead also. It´s true nowadays we can find some great artists or bands. However almost everything we hear now are controlled by international tycoon companies. Money is king.
I am sorry if it sounds ridiculous or radical. I have no intention of interfering other people ś affairs. Just feel like to express my feelings. So what´s your real feeling?

P.S.
Bob Dylan is my all-time favorite.

congratulations. you've recognized the painfully obvious of listening to mainstream media over the last 25+ years. welcome to the choir. please stop preaching.

I'm more of the anti-pop-"bands"-trying-to-label-themselves-as-rock guy.
All they do is teach those little kids and big kids that that was what rock was and is, and then they go labeling themselves as "rockstars" when they go buy some pink karaoke machine with Kevin Jonas' face stamped all over it.

I look at them a Indie Pop. I know thatwhen I say Pop it essentially means popular but they are hard to classify and I find them to go best with Indie Pop. Wouldn't call them posterboys though.

There's pop that I love, and there is pop that I hate. Same goes for metal. No need to generalize, especially for such broad types of music. Pop can mean anything from the boring, predictable stuff you hear on the radio, to more original and interesting stuff.

Top 40 = pop
pop ≠ top 40

I agree. However I can't talk as I am a sucker for Lady Gaga and mainstream dance music. But that's not the main kind of music I'm into so it doesn't worry me to admit that.

I hated Lady Ga Ga until I started liking her. Now I can't get her blasted songs out of my head.
