I just watched the news and one of the articles they had was talking about the latest "trend" in music.
They showed a clip from a new music video by Coldplay, then said "this is from the album that people are hoping breaks the trend in low sales of music this year. The next clip you will see is what is the current 'hot' thing in music."
And they showed that `Jamster!` Frog, with some music playing in the background.
After seeing that I wanted like nothing else to shatter one of the vinyl encapsulations of all that used to be good in the world and slice my wrists with it.
The `Jamster!` commercials hit comedy central awhile ago, and for about 3 weeks they bought enough advertising space on comedy central, where they could've instead spent that money buying canada. When I saw one of their commercials for the fourth or fifth time I said to myself "im going to have to be the one to kill these people"
And now I think I really am.
After seeing that I lost all my faith in humanity and the music to come.

The "hottest thing in music" is defined by what advertisements tell the masses. You could drag a really bad street performer out of NYC and advertise the hell out of his music, and people would listen; not because it's any good (ever heard of Wesley Willis?), but because it's what is "popular". According to ads, everyone else listens to it, why shouldn't I?
Every dumbass and their dog has a cell phone, so they went for that market. Advertise it enough, say it's the "#1 service in the USA", and plenty of morons will buy it. I never had any faith in humanity or current mainstream music. Because as I'm concerned, it's not mainstream because it's good, it's mainstream because the media TELLS you it's good.
