Thread Name: Why does bad music sell?
Subject: RE: Why does bad music sell?
Harpy, you wanna know what bad music is? That's easy - it's the music my kids listen to. It used to be the music my parents listened to, but I'm not so sure about that now.

And actually, I'm not so sure about the kids' music any more. I can't the music my kids listen to is good, but I think I can say it's honest music. They're in their twenties now and have had time to develop their tastes, but my kids have never liked top-40 music. They seem to be repulsed by any music that smacks of commercialism. My kids' friends have similar tastes. I think it's unfair to say that kids have fallen prey to the big money of the music business. In many ways, I think the kids of today are less subject to the persuasive power of the music industry.
