Almost all mainstream stuff is garbage. BEP is a prime example of bands that have one hit wonders, but their albums suck major ass. Linkin Park (after Hybrid Theory and Meteora) is another good example.
I have become disgusted with most of the music distributed over the radio and through albums nowadays, all of it is just the same shit over and over again with a new beat/melody. Anything Rap/Hip Hop/R&B/Pop talks about the same shit, sex, women, gang life, drugs, etc.
I have a huge dislike of all those genres, just listen to a pop/rap station for an hour, then you will understand.
Severed helped to show why people such as him and myself hate rap so much in this topic:
http://forum.gameanyone.com/index.php?topic=10030.0Rap is the biggest joke nowadays. They even use the same exact beat in alot of the songs. I hate when I listen to a radio station and keep hearing the same song over and over. I only listen to mainstream occasionally usually when it's somebody I have listened to for a long time., like your linkin park example. Oh well, one mans garbage is another mans treasure I guess, lol.
