And I try, and I try

I try to keep some empathy with ordinary people. And I try not to look down on people. And I try to not feel superior.

But when Will Young sells 800,000 copies of his single in one afternoon, despite being obviously completely manufactured, not having a single original idea in his head, and patently being nothing more than a method for record companies to make money, I say it's time to take off and nuke the site from orbit.

I think your music is soulless. Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails are manufactured, commercial pap to keep the masses happy.

I don't know bout Radiohead, but NIN was a project put together by Trent Reznor in his spare time, that he then found a small publisher for and made it big through touring and people liking it. Not even slightly manufactured. Sure, the music companies then push it to try and make money off of it, but he's making music that he wants to.

And what do you mean by "music you like"? Do you mean music you like listening to, music you like reading the lyrics of, music you like dancing to, music you like to -own-, music you like making?

Yes.
