I don't think I'm an elitist but I certainly am very passionate about the music I love. Judging a song by its musical complexity isn't a very good way to judge music. I've heard plenty of acapella pieces that are far more brilliant than some of the fabricated and synthesized music you hear a lot of today.
I do miss the days of Gorillaz, Black Eyed Peas, Foo Fighters, Scatman John, Matchbox Twenty and even some of Eminem's work but I was pretty young around the time that stuff was popular so it may be nostalgia on my part. It just doesn't feel like there's as much stuff I like on the tube anymore.
I seriously can't believe Boy Bands are making a comeback but that may have something to do with the Twilight phenomenon and publishers realizing that young females are a legitimate revenue stream they can tap into. But thanks to the internet that isn't a problem. More artists have the freedom to produce and sell whatever kind of music they like. While I'm not too fond of dubstep for example, it's nice to see it's still possible to find decent grunge-rock out there.
