Because they have sold out and set the standard for selling out, they can't let bands that don't sell out have musical careers. That's my rant.

I should try harder to find bands with talent, but where I live is in the middle of nowhere and the concerts that come to where I live are either country or pop. My computer is a pice of trash and I would've posted this 2 days ago but I couldn't get online because of this trash heap computer. Now you see my delimma. I can only listen to the same crap station day in and day out, and I don't have enough money to go out and buy cd's every week. That is why I can't look harder into finding underground bands that are good.

Second, bands like Good Charlotte and Simple Plan do not have talent to the degree of where they are in the music industry. If every song has three chords and two drum beats repeated over and over while some whiny singer schreeches on and on about the same vauge reference that his girlfriend left him and he's too shallow to get a good girl in every single song on every single cd, they do not have talent. And they do have to work hard to get where they are. It takes a lot to sell out and lose your individuality to become one of the norm in order to make money. Like Linkin Park. I hate them to. They are a metal band, which is my style, but they follow the above criteria. They are not a good band and do not have much talent. They are another one of the bands I detest.
Third, how do I already know what you think? I didn't ever state once that I know what you think. I mereley stated that people who claim to be "open minded" are generally "close minded." Everyone that I know that says they are open minded will support things that they do not believe in and try to put down that which they don't like as being "close minded and stupid." One girl I know claims who to be open minded will always support homosexuals making out down the street, but protests "see you at the pole" because it openly shows christianity. so called "Open Minded people" are hypocrites that label what they don't like as "close minded." And I am not also hypocritical by starting this thread. Yes, I don't like these bands, pureley because they have no talent and sell out in order to get ahead. That's pretty much how it's done these days. But I do not hate them pureley because I don't like them. As I mentioned earlier, I hate some artists but they have extreme talent. I would be glad for them to continue thier musical careers. I won't ever listen to them, because that isn't my style, but I still believe that there should be more artists like them because they have TALENT.
Fourth, I don't care about what other people think. I'm proud of that. I'm not one of the shallow conformists that have to be perfect in order to meet the criteria society has set for us. Jesus didn't care about what other people thought. He did what God wanted him to do. If he cared about the thought's of other's, we wouldn't be hear today.
Fourth, If you do not return to this thread, I won't care. But you are a hypocrite because you just stated that greysale42 is an ignorant person because he did not return to this post. And you claim to be "open minded" and not ignorant, yet you will do just what you said makes him ignorant.
If you find this thread offensive, I apologize. But this does not change my views. If you agree with me, that's great. If you don't, that's fine. I don't care. I posted this because I can't stand these bands and artists that steal careers away from ones with real talent. That's not an opinion, that's a fact. Where J LO, Britteney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Simple Plan, Good Charlotte exist, other bands cannot. Because they have sold out and set the standard for selling out, they can't let bands that don't sell out have musical careers. That's my rant.
