hey, Cowboy:
you seem to think everything played on the radio sucks. what if you heard songs from your five favorite bands played on the radio? would that mean they all suck, too? perhaps you should re-think your broad generalization.
in this age, being 'different' is the cool thing. i can understand you being upset with how MTV exploits artists, and even hating those artists for letting themselves be exploited. however, deciding all popular music is crap just comes off as a cry for attention. "look at me, i listen ONLY to DIFFERENT music! i'm so cool!" or something similar. if you decide everything that ever was, is, or will become popular sucks, you're denying yourself some good music.
the beatles, stevie wonder, led zeppelin. they're all popular (and even more so in their day), yet they're all quality as well. under your malformed hypothesis, this would be impossible. you'd either have to argue that these bands all suck (good luck with that), or admit your theory has no merit or substance.
also, dillinger escape plan and thee michelle gun elephant are not bad examples of music. they are examples of bad music. there's quite a difference.
i keep breathing with my lungs and diaphragm, usually under control of my brain stem.
