It's not readily apparent. The top charts are always clogged with mainstream hip hop and gangsta rap and soulless corporate "rock" bands, and almost everyone I know is addicted to it. If it's not that shit, it's old metal-y shit or country shit. My only hope is that this trend of shit music will end one day, and those faithful to the Awesome will emerge from their hiding places into the bright sunshine and resow the seeds of Good Music. Meanwhile, all this great old stuff I've been listening to will keep me in good stead.

I've recently gotten very much into Dead Kennedys. Uh... they're cool and such. I'm listening to Terminal Preppie, and it maketh me to chuckle and to sing along. I'm annoyed by the classification of such bands as Green Day as "punk". I decree that any current band thought of as "punk" must be referred to as "Ludicrous Contemporary Representation of Attempted Punk," or simply "el crap" for short.
