THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Perfect. Just like people (in the main) who listen to pop music listen because, guess what, THEY ENJOY THEIR MUSIC! Not to symbolize a political cause or some image, but because it's enjoyable to them. It resonates with them. Get it?

they aren't compromising thier music/ watering it down to fit some image or market or political ideology (or what have you). Pens and key chains are independent of thier music, you can sell an Oomph shirt regardless of what they sound like, they don't need to compromise thier music to sell trinkets, in order to get on MTV, Kidz bop, commercials, mass sold ring tones, etc, they would need to actually compromise the sound of thier music, the product itself. |

Compromising your music is only relevant to a band who are making say non-commercial music, and THEN subsequently watering down the sound in order to conform to their label. Note: this does NOT apply in the case of the majority of pop acts who have always been commercial in their intentions all along. Furthermore: there's nothing wrong with trying to write catchy commercially viable music. It's a style. It's a format. It could be good, it could be absolutely appalling. But inherently, it's no less worthy as music than the rubbish that your darlings Oomph put out. |

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. I don't listen to music to appear as something, to fit an image or to conform (not even to conform with the anti-conformists), the media doesn't tell me what to listen to. Quote:
The fact that they were always in that state of being commercial doesn't excuse them or make anything better. Quote:

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. |
