True or false? Why? |
Because the more talented musicians/bands build a solid fan base of people who have a legitimate interest in their music... they're not just there to "rock out" to the chorus of the song, and their not just taking a girl there so they can get laid.
The reason they are less popular is because the majority of people get bored with familiar faces/sounds. That's why pop music runs such a wide gamut and changes as the time goes on. Who knows what pissed off teenagers will be listening to next: Grunge... Nu Metal... Emo... ___________.
But prog bands, for example, like Jethro Tull and King Crimson have a rabid following and have been at it since the 60s. Because they're actually talented and write good songs: But, it's not what the majority wants to hear.
