I've been to lots of gigs for the past years and all of them were great. I don't even know who these rap guys are, they are purely not exposed in my world.

And you're proving my point once again.
I don't own tv for four years now cause there's nothing to watch.
And as I said I am talking about POP culture, not obscure bands, of course that I enjoy John Cale solo, or Tom Waits (who's quite famous but definitely not mainstream) hell I listen to a lot of obscure jazz stuff and all kinds of things that would scare the hell out of anyone who's only getting music from mainstream radio.
But I'm talking about POP culture.
For most of the time there ever was POP culture you could still watch without getting seriously brain damaged - at least partially, partially.
You ALSO still had there actual artists / musicians actually performing something interesting or funny or touching or etc. something on those mainstream media channels like TV.
Now all you've got left are monkeys trained by the production pimps.
