Day 16 - Your views on mainstream music.

Succinctly, the great majority of it is throw-away pop with no real meaning. And that's cool, I guess. Sometimes I'm more in the mood for Lady Gaga dance songs than deep-and-meaningful Dream Theater. The only 'mainstream music' I really take issue with is the gangsta-style rap and hip hop, and that's because it tends to be incredibly misogynist and glorifies things like rampant drug use and trafficking. That I have a problem with. But most pop? I'm okay with it. Granted, I wouldn't let my prepubescent kid listen to a lot of it because of the sexual messages, but whatever.
