Very true. Terrestrial radio sucks, at least most places. And I don't think it is going to change. It ain't just terrestrial radio though, which one can escape (I haven't listened to that voluntarily for almost a decade); it's friends, acquaintances, roommates, cars, the guy with the volume up to 11 next door, everybody! Especially chicks. And that's another thing - if you don't dig this stuff, it's damn near impossible to get laid.

If that's a preprequisite to get any tang these days, I guess the only option is to put a pink streak in my hair, pierce my right ear, and lick some guy's ***hole downtown.

Though I wonder how much of the current musical suckage is because it sucks (and it certainly has a large amount of that) and how much is because I'm getting older. How old are you, Darius, if you don't mind me asking? Let's just say the day the music died was before I'd even finished highschool. There are people a decade older than me that still jump on the bandwagon and play this trash on a constant loop too, so it can't have much to do with age.

Also, how much of the radio sucking is the radio making poor choices on what to play, and how much is it there just not being anything good to choose? (Though both factors contribute, I actually lean toward the latter.) A) They're only in it to make money, which means play whatever whiny crap will make 16-year-old girls leave wet spots on their seats because they're the most reliable (i.e. pathetically obsessive and overemotional) demographic available, regardless of any semblance of talent or originality. B) There being little to nothing good to choose means nothing; it'd be easier to just reignite appreciation for the vast cornucopia of older stuff than to just shovel "new" (and I use that term strictly in a temporal sense, not in a style sense) horse**** down people's throats so they can pretend to be hip. **** them.
