Way over-generalization.

Dominated by just four multinational corporations, even the 'rebellious' music is now packaged like soap powder, and much of today's sorry output is sold with a heavy dollop of sleazy sex to make it look 'tasty'.

Sex sells. Proven fact.

Once upon a time, everyone wanted to play music; now every kid just wants to be famous.

So....back in this fictional "day", when the intent was "pure" and the music was "raw", evrey kid didn't want to be famous? How many of the pre-60's music generators ever said, "I did it for the music, man? The money? The fame? It don't mean shit."

Other than a few independents like Nation Records in the UK, and some long standing whacky bands like Ween, there is simply no genuine alternative.

Of course there is. You just have to go out of your way to find them, turn off your TV and Radio.

Turning on the radio today is like turning on the gas with your head in the oven!! Do we need another punk revolution, y'know, or have all you kids gone soft in the head?

No, all we "kids" haven't. And who is "you" anyway. Don't try to make it sound like the UK doesn't have it's own bubblegum pop labels, case in point, "Ant and Dec".
