If it wasn't for me discovering chart music when I was a kid I wouldn't have an interest in music now.

I just had a few paragraphs explaining why I think acts like Nicki Minaj or Taylor Swift are ruining music, but I wiped them because I was ranting. But I get frustrated when I even attempt to make someone grasp my way of thinking, because it's like I speak another language.
But really, it shouldn't be that hard for you to figure out Urban. You seem smart.
When is the last time you read about a label signing someone, anyone at all that deserved it? I sure as hell haven't seen anyone lately that should have gotten that record contract. It's not about that anymore. They just want people they can exploit, or control, to market a certain sound to keep making them money...
Maybe the problem is the record companies more than it's the artists they're signing? Either way. I don't hear anything worth a damn on the radio anymore. Those bands or singers that really have something to offer have taken to pledge websites to get funded by fans, because labels have no interest unless it's that soulless crap you see on FUSE, MTV, or VH1, whatever music channel you have.
Damn it. I really doubt I answered your question. All I know is that it makes sense in my head. Maybe I'll try answering your question another time.

There wasn't one time I said that good music suddenly gets worse because all the bad music is getting the attention. Good music stays just that, good. Only it's ignored and replaced by this senseless garbage like Nicki Minaj.
