"So that's the young, the creative and city dwellers removed because their music is verbally unclear, short-lived and pretends to things it doesn't contain."

But they're not 'removed', are they? They're everywhere, penetrating every nook and cranny of our culture such that there's no room for anything else and making contentless, raucous 'shite' the norm! When I hear yet another adolescent declare that his/her highest aspiration is to 'be-in-a-band', I despair!

Oh yes, I don't know about you but I happen to prefer music which is verbally clear, durable and unpretentious - a good description of traditional song, perhaps?
