well I guess that would be ingenious because we're all going to get old and angry, at least I hope so.

Times are fucked and the popular culture is more boring and more impotent than ever. It's like if you have a cage full of monkeys and want to calm them down, so you play something very easy to listen to.

You can tell from the fact that people get irritated if you say so, cause everything is so smooth and so nice, douche electro, douche rock, douche R&B. They're pushing the shit into your ears so intense that you have a hard time not to hear the latest anonymous / mainly multiethnic rhytmless jewel 20 times a day.

I actually thought about it - and here is what I concluded:

It's probably way better marketingwise to produce silly and shitty music and give those "performers" a year or three of fame when you can always dump them once they're washed up from coke / start to bark and want too much money, than to create anything that would be too recognizable or appealing to people so it would have a potential to live or be popular on its own.

Shoot 50 cent / drive his body to the forest and hide it - noone from the kids that are wearing the gangsta t-shirts and fake teeth will remember him after a year, cause there is 100 new ones just waiting to get picked up out of the instant celebrity incubator to fill in the pseudogangsta rapper space.

And I can understand that - as a producer you really need something shitty and simple to market to the teenagers you're probably making the most of your money from, cause they're the easiest to convert - never really received the benefit of a choice so all of a sudden YOU as a producer is dictating their style, so you also want to secure noone grows over your head.

Create a real star and at the end of the day they'll have so much power / so much influence and so much money they'll just either cost you incredible money to maintain or they will even be able to go independent (like Prince did).

Pretty good

I went to a rave once. I paid the $65 or so to get in and stayed for about half an hour.
