I know music has to appeal to groups, but when it feels forced applied like Weezer or the teenage anger bands like Slipknot. It seems like a selling product.

i hate to break it to you but in 2010 these 'cutting edge' bands that are popular now are going to seem pretty lame.
when i look back on the things i liked 10 - 20 - 30 years ago - some of it is still solid - but a lot of it is pathetic - even though i have a nostalgic affection for it ..
the shit i listened to was always progressive - but now most of it seems so silly ...
certain bands will always be valid .. they dont follow trends or sounds and they will always be classic ...
believe it or not ACDC is one of those bands .. rock and roll in its purest form - never swaying or changing with the times ..
i'd hate to think that every band would sound like ACDC ... or that no one would try anything new but most of these changes are topical and timely for a certain era - sensibilities ... and they will lose their credibility as social sensibilities change with time ..
