Colin => Your sister is a total and complete moron if she can't name any of the Beatles. Not because they're such a great band (frankly, I think they suck), but because anyone who is not blind and deaf has heard of them, even in the past 15 years. She apparently lacks even the most remote sense of historical/cultural knowledge.
And no, being a straight A student does not exclude you from the predicate "idiot" (there are many kinds of idiots, and this is only one of those).
Also, if you think Eminem and Linkin Park are good, you yourself are also an idiot. Not because millions of people listen to them, but because they are fabricated.
There is nothing original about them. Nothing creative. They are like romance novels written for lonely housewives - maybe entertaining, but certainly far from art.
You see, clever marketing does not equal art. Art requires originality, thought and profoundness. A Big Mac is not art, however tasty it might be.
Besides that, anyone that can relate to Eminem's lyrics or those of Linkin Park is a pathetic loser who has been overtaken by postmodernism without even knowing it. (as a sidenote: Linkin Park's lyrics were written with the specific goal of relating to the average unpopular teenager's feelings. Wonder what that says about you....)
Labret => If you really believe that that is a "good" band you most certainly aren't worthy of the respect I had for you. It's as unoriginal as Britney Spears, there are many thousands of other bands around doing exactly the same thing.
And you talked about "only shaved heads and tattoos"... If people really are so socially handicapped that they can't feel good about themselves without fitting on a uniform and a lifestyle to go along with it all I can do is feel sorry for them, because they are obviously either too stupid or too shallow to come up with something for themselves.
It's funny how you seem to judge music purely by it's number of followers instead of it's artistic merit. Does the quality of music somehow diminish if more people buy the cd? That's too stupid for words...
