Correct.
That and people sometimes get tired of having the music they like getting looked down upon by older folks who like to talk about "real music".
Thin Skinned?
I was usually a favourite subject between my Dad and me (Benny Goodman vs. Chicago and Zeppelin)..and My friends and me(Journey and...ELO?..vs. Commodores, EWF Bob Marley, Slim Whitman...). I usually got ganged up on because my tastes varied so much.
Real Music is still being made..It just seems like we're bombarded by the mediocre stuff by the media because they value glitz over substance..Not saying that's the end of the World..Just reminds me of settling for (5-7) seasons
i am guilty of having a large well rounded music library as well. i agree as far as being bombarded with mediocre music... hell most of it is plain wack these days. i am a hip-hop head at heart and i will be the first to say that a lot/most of the rap/r&b that makes it to your radio's these days is trash. its just the "that kind of music is garbage" comments that really grinds my gears. some of it gives todays music a bad name, and thats not right.
