What would it take to make rock and metal more mainstream?

To top that Carly Ray Jensen, fun, or any of those other pop, country, and rap "artists"? To be blunt, a band would have to capture the audience of teenagers, female in particular. The band would have to appear on some of the most popular network shows that many young people watch. The young population is what gave Maroon 5 their bppst, then it came to Lady Gaga, then Lil Wayne, and so on.

If younger populations can be persuaded to listen to, even take a look into, rock and metal music, there is a chance that type of music could get a boost it has lost in the last decade. As Corey Taylor of Slipknot noted metal is losingg any attention of the mainstream media, that indeed is very real and scary.

What do you think?
