    Manufactured Music...

    Right but the difference I think is that with pop music the intent is to make it "popular" from the start. If you express opinions in the music then you run the risk of alienating potential consumers. Punk is not Pop, Punk just happened to gain popularity. In contrast Pop is intended to be...

    Manufactured Music...

    A) Most people either don't know or don't care what "good" music is. B) Most people will accept the fads fed to them C) Popular music has to be the most safe and unoffensive to gain the most appeal. Taking risks by being "innovative" is counter-productive to that.

    Account Selling: Wrong or Justifiable ?

    If the seller is honest about what is being sold and what's being sold in no way harms the purchaser than why not?

    Star Wars wasn't made for kids, specifically.

    I think that its a mark of greatness to have any material thats suitable from kids to adults, especially as it creates a generation of people who can "grow up" with the movie/series rather than abandon it. However the problem is that this is very hard to do well. Disney is was the only...
