Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry - all titans in today's music industry. I hope this whole hip hop/dance music craze is just a temporary thing. Some of it's alright, but what happened to rock and roll. Kids today are completely blind to the music of the 60's, 70's, 90's, and a little bit of the 80's. Great bands that deserve to have their music heard are being forgotten.
I know a lot of it is just bandwagon appeal. People want to listen to what their friends are listening to. Unfortunately, it works the other way, too. They don't listen to music that their friends don't listen to. Peer pressure... it's a real bitch.
Another problem is YouTube and other social media sites on the Internet - the main reason people like Justin Bieber are where they are today. The site has provided artists with a free easy way to spread their music to millions of people around the world. Older artists have missed out on this opportunity.
