Well Matious, what I meant I suppose is that this generation growing up had to dig harder for what I consider 'growing up staples' whether hiphop or rock or whatever. Most of my generation hasn't dug nearly as deep as I have, but at least the foundation was sound. As a fan of music across the board, I can't turn on even satellite tv and consistently if at all find music I like on any version of MTV, VH1, Fuse, Box, 100 XM channels, etc., or on the radio. Growing up with less options, better/more music was played.
The corporate/business end took control and really fine tuned what should be popular. It's an exact science for them, and they have the formulas across the board.
