I don't have any interest in manufactured product from the Disney or Cowell factory floor and never have in all the yeas I've enjoyed music.
I understand the marketing genius behind it all, and it is all about money not the art that is why they all fade into obscurity as the newer model with racing stripes and fresh paint rolls off the assembly line. Young girls drive the market and if they enjoy it all the power to them
I think that's the best attitude to have LG
Though I don’t understand how it is when young pop/teen bands come along, as has happened as regular as clockwork since the 60’s, that some ‘rock’ fans always seem to take it so personally, and they get all defensive and intolerant, as if the teen-group’s mere existence is a personal insult and an affront to their musical integrity... and so all children under the age of say 14 should be listening to Metallica and Emerson, Lake and Palmer and Molly Hatchett, right? If my kids
weren’t into One Direction, and hip-hop, and Katie Perry, and Justin Bieber, and stuff like that, then to be honest I’d be thinking there was something seriously wrong with their child development, and I'd be considering putting them into therapy! At 10-12 years old I think my favourites were probably Alvin Stardust, Gary Glitter, and Abba. For millions of kids, groups like One Direction are all a part of growing up, normally, and it’s common sense and quite right that groups like that should exist. Good luck to One Direction, they fill an important place in the market that has always and will always be there.
