Where in the hell did this psuedo rock crap come from? It's making a fuck ton of money from the one demographic with 100% disposable income. Kids. The bands suck, the lyrical content is predictable and canned, the shows are lackluster and these dumb ass kids LOVE IT.
Another bunch of geniuses, the rap/hip hoppers. I worked a show for the 36 Mafia last weekend. The same as Lil' Scrappy and Juvenile, the shows start WAAAAY late and "plays" for 30 minutes and leaves. The songs are incomplete and every one ends with the same gunshot sample in rapid fire.
I suppose I shouldn't complain because the rappers pay more than the rock/metal bands, and they ask no questions about production. Why? They don't know anything about the production end of this business. That's almost better to me than some band guy that knows just enough to be dangerous or annoying.
The music business is funny. If you're an adorably cute boy that sings and plays guitar badly, you're in. If you can pull of the thug/ghetto image just right, you're in. As long as you present the image that they want to sell, you're in. Talent is unnecessary. The company will find you a band, and I'll make sure that it doesn't sound like you suck.
