At the risk of sounding like one of those cliché adolescents who rejects everything mainstream (or a 75-year-old woman, for that matter), I would like to pose the question: what is with music on the radio and TV these days? Every time I turn on the car radio I get an earful of Justin Bieber's pre-pubescent hip-hop, and when I switch on the TV, it's Ke$ha screeching her drunken lyrics at me. After a day of "Replay" ironically replaying in my head against my will, I found myself venting to my companions about the American youth being misled by mediocre, if not talentless, singers.
