To say a genre sucks just because some of its artists suck is a pretty flawed argument.

Has it occurred to you that the majority of people who buy records from the most successful artists couldn't care less?

They manufacture the music to target certain consumers. This takes away from the music itself. Would you rather listen to music where the musician doesn't really give a fuck about what anybody thinks and just enjoys what he does, or would you rather listen to someone who's only performing what you like because they know that's what you like, and they want your money? To me, the choice is easy.

To me, the choice is easy also. I'll buy what I like, plain and simple. If the artist doesn't give a shit what people think and enjoys what he does, that's cool, but if his music sucks I ain't wasting my money. As long as the music is good in my opinion, the artist could be a flaming homosexual that enjoys buttsex with criminals, I could care less.

How do "they" not care about their fans, when as you just said, they make their music to what the fans like?

For profits, as I've been stating the whole time. The only reason why they make it that way is so that they get money out of it. I'm not saying making a profit is bad, but to do it just for that is quite ridiculous. Everybody just sounds like everybody else. If they had their own sound, then it'd be different. Take, for instance, this "music" that consists of people yelling and screaming their lyrics. I could go out and make album after album of yelling and screaming, but it'd be just for the point of making money. I mean, who the hell truly enjoys yelling and screaming to the point that you can't even consider it music anymore?
I'd rather listen to people who are playing what they love than people who are prentending as to make a few bucks. Take AC/DC as an example, they don't give a fuck what anybody thinks, and that's what makes them awesome, that and they have their own sound and aren't a bunch of no talent hacks. They paved the way for a lot of bands.
whoa.

Music is spiritual. It's not just something that I "like to listen to". Music is a great stress reliever and it puts adrenaline in my veins. If an artist doesn't give a flying fuck about their music other than it's pulling in money then it loses it's effect. I just don't like music when the root of it is greed. I mean, I see music much more than just another industry. Again, it's great that people are making money off of their talents, but to have money create your sound is just stupid. Artists changing their sound is just like me changing my personality because of some chick. I will remain true to myself, and I want the artists that I listen to to be true to their music/sound. Again, this is probably because I see music as spiritual and more than just another industry. You have your own opinion, and I'm not calling you stupid for having it, but I'm calling it as I see it, and I still feel that music today (especially rap) is bullshit. It's manufactured, and nobody has their individuality. The only genre I can say that has stayed true to their roots is Country music.
Again, I view music as more than just another industry. I want people to produce something that they enjoy producing. Of course I wouldn't put a product on the market if it sucks. That's not to say I won't commend someone for trying to make it by doing something they love.
