So... I had a mini-epiphany. Popular bands/entertainers just fill empty holes. There's overlap and emptiness at times, but if there's a market there's a band/artist who will fill that hole (no matter how niche or strange it is, providing there is money there). It's actually kind of depressing. I do believe there was a set of musicians at some point who believed, without irony, that they had a certain obligation to the kids to live the life they spoke of in their songs.

It seems I have a different relationship to music than a lot of people. I don't pay much attention to the artist. I just listen to the music. If it sounds good, it is good. Music is more about a mood or a feeling than people or ideas, to me at least. I have no loyalty to an artist. If they make a bad album I won't buy it. My playlist is about 80% "solo" artists and 20% "bands". I don't like those words but they are an easy shorthand.
Boy I sound shrill.
