Teach younger people of good music/it's not teenage girl's taste in music, it's that it's MARKETED to teenage girls

So I wanted to share this, I was in a conversation with someone talking about revolutions and whatnot, and they mentioned how people make famous the teenage girls taste in music, aka the boy bands, and they are stupid and will by anything and whatnot, but it's not that, it's that that's a stereotype, and that it's MARKETED to teenage girls, so here's a post I wrote,

"It's the stupid marketing campaign. I always thought I was the only one on earth who didn't like that crap, but thinking back now, I knew of maybe 5 friends who liked it, and no one else talked about it. I realize it was the media that made it seem like they were oh so popular. My mom told me a while ago that when those people came out, she was scared, because she didn't know what was going on and the music and everything was so bad, but she never told me that when I was little. They would talk on the news and say that all these teenage girls are in love with Backstreet Boys and they were screaming for them, then they'd show a couple, and it made it seem like the whole world liked them, much like a year ago I saw something that said "EVERYONE loves Justin Beiber" when everyone I know hates him, ESPECIALLY my little and teenaged girl cousins. 

It's also the way they market rock and roll. I frankly NEVER felt like rock and roll was a guy thing, but that's because I grew up hearing it on the radio and not seeing it, in the late 90s when no one was talking about it, so I definitely wouldn't think it wasn't girly to like Ozzy. When I grew up and started watching shows about the musicians I grew up with and glam rock and how all the musicians were guys, and especially that stupid music video for Here I Go Again, which is a song I always loved, and then I see that girl rolling around on that car, I could tell it wasn't marketed for me. What the world really needs to do is get rid of the stereotype that young girls are supposed to like bad pop, and give them more support for liking decent music, and TEACH CHILDREN ABOUT GOOD BANDS because it is NOT their fault that they don't know of anything other than the garbage pop of today, so the real revolution will start when older people teach younger people of good music, and if teenage girls are so stupid and buy whatever is thrown at them, then show them good music. After all, and this is why I hate those stupid stereotypes, TEENAGE GIRLS IN THE 90S WERE GRUNGE TOO! I remember looking up to the cool, flannel clad teenage girls I saw at that time. It is not because they like bad pop, it's because they are pressured into liking it. 

Of course the media is the main pressuring thing on society, and I get it would be hard to change that, but if older people did make it easy for younger people to know of and like rock, and maybe just straight up tell them their thoughts on how stupid the pop people of today are instead of enabling this horrid generation, then at least that's a start. I should be more pressuring with my little cousins, but hey they already make fun of Justin Bieber more than I do. I've heard the phrase "We don't like it but it's all there is" so many times I want to puke. Part of the problem is also apathy. Heck, we could go beyond the media. If we could somehow spread the word to older people to show their kids decent music, and make it feel like they really don't have to like the garbage of today, maybe tell them how it used to be like elders in tribes do with their young to keep their stories going for all eternity, then THAT will be the revolution."

and then I took that to another site and commented more with

"So I urge you older people, or anyone really, TELL KIDS ABOUT GOOD MUSIC! It's not their fault all they have to choose from is crap." "I'm a girl age 20 and my favorite thing in the world is grunge, and I grew up listening to 70s and 80s music and loving it, and like I said, all my little girl cousins hate hate the pop of today. You're just used to hearing that stereotype. Heck, I showed my little cousins some music, and they liked it, especially Veruca Salt, The Breeders, and Splendora."

and

"I've heard some people stupidly say stuff like "I'm tired of everyone saying that because no one they know likes this stuff that that means that not many people do. It's in the media!" like hello, you disproved your own thing by talking about all the people who see all the people around them and virtually NO ONE likes the garbage the media says they like. It's not the people going by the people around them that are wrong, the people that are wrong are the people thinking everything the media shows them is right. It's as stupid as looking at the media and then thinking that most of the world is made up of celebrities, when really they are only a small percentage of the population. Granted, there will be some people that like that stuff, but look around, all I see is hate, and the love for the stuff that I do see is peer pressure from the media, and OF COURSE the media and stereotypes are only going to show the people that like that stuff, THAT"S WHAT THEY ARE THERE FOR, and that's how it keeps going. Once people realize that television stereotypes are just that, STEREOTYPES, the easier it will be to both feel way less pressured from those stereotypes, and look around you and realize NOT NEARLY as many people like the stuff of today as the media suggests."
as well as 
"Maybe try and tell them in a meaningful and heartfelt way that what they are doing is shallow, and really try to show them good music, or randomly start playing music one day and let them come to you and ask what it is, and maybe trick them into hearing something awesome without telling them it's old so that they get to like it before forming an opinion of it based off of it being old, or maybe start a club at your school, for a certain type of music, or like this page here trying to get rid of the current state of music and whatnot, but I know, it can be hard, I myself hate that the media shoves that music down my throat so that makes me apprehensive about showing it to more people, though I am trying to get better, but if we all could do that, that would probably change things at least a bit."

..after all, the video for Smells Like Teen Spirit is most popular with females, age 13-17.

Grunge veterans bashing this generation/a new revolution soon?

So I was on a grunge forum thread a while ago about how Chris Cornell said in an interview that "Contemporary pop couldn't be worse"
http://www.nme.com/news/soundgarden/64623  
and one of my friends there was talking about how funny it is that these grunge bands are coming back AGAIN and reviving good music AGAIN, and I started to think about it, and she's sort of right. 


I actually always wanted them to come back and talk about how our generation sucks, and I even go to the lengths of well when on the Alice in Chains forums they said that Duff Mckagan and Sean Kinney are having their own radio show, and to email the with questions, I sent in an email asking them to talk about how bad my generation is and the music of today because I'm so tired of no one talking about how so much of it sucks and NOT EVERYONE listens to bieber and subscribes to the emo/pop/glossy rap/reality shows/social media/vampires/synthesizers/autotune/skinny jeans/shallow 2000s, as well as commenting the same type of thing on a comment Gavin Rossdale (or at least he said he was Gavin) left on the music video for Swallow by Bush, saying the veterans who already have fame could do a lot if they mention how tons of kids feel alienated by Generation Y, and it's pretty empty today and whatnot, so I guess I got my wish because not only did Chris Cornell say that up there, but Dave Grohl said in an interview that the scene of today is basically like it was in the 80s before Nevermind came out (which is what I've been saying for years) and we need a new rock revolution

and I keep hearing that Billy Corgan always says stuff like that as well, and here's the kicker, maybe a week ago, I saw this story of Patty Schemel talking about how while she was touring as she was promoting her new film, she saw all these young 20-somethings that were loving grunge, and she said a quote I love that the reason why is “Maybe it’s a backlash to what’s going on with pop music today—everything is so packaged and slick. Something dirty needs to show up,”, and the article was titled "Grunge Comes Back With a Vengeance"  
http://www.blackbookmag.com/music/grunge-comes-back-with-a-vengeance-1.50645
so perhaps it actually is time for grunge to come back, I mean I know that bieber kid is not as popular as he was before, and heck, even One Direction I feel no one is really talking about anymore when they were supposed to be the next big thing, and it feels like it's another time for pop to go down, just like it did in 2002, 2003 after Backstreet Boys, N'sync, and Britney Spears started to lose popularity.

My friend on that one thread mentioned how sad it is that the older rockers have to do this again when it's OUR generation that should be doing this, and my thoughts are that there ARE tons of kids our age doing just that, heck my page for newer grunge bands
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Spread-the-word-of-good-newer-grunge-bands/192998060774625   
now has well over 300 bands on it, and I hear people talking about starting a revolution all the time and how fake and shallow our generation is and how we need to get rid of it and really start rocking, it's just that they aren't getting famous, and perhaps that has to do with the internet generation, like it feels like a revolution can happen, it's just with the internet exposing tons and tons of mediocrity, the really good stuff might take a while to circulate, but in the meantime I can definitely say I'm glad the older folks are standing up for us little guys, and if you guys could do that more please, that would be greatly appreciated!
