I agree with you 100% with this statement "WHERRAS THE MEDIA AND RECORD COMPANIES, MANIPULATIVELY, SHOVE A SPECIFIC MUSICAL TREND DOWN THE PUBLICS THROATS (THAT BEING DANCE/ELECTRONIC MUSIC) AND THEN MOAN AND COMPLAIN ABOUT THE LACK OF TALENT IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY."

There is a lack of talent in the industry. I don't even listen to the radio anymore because of the lack of quality and talent. There are some radio artists that I listen to, Beyonce, GaGa, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber. When I go into iTunes I see what various genres of music have to offer, and I listen to the previews of the albums. If I like what I'm hearing I'll buy the music. If I don't like what I'm hearing I won't buy the music. I also don't always follow the trends that media shoves down our throats.
