No.

I try every day to do my part to get people to stop feeding money to terrible musicians who only exist to exploit a demographic.  If people stop listening to it, it will no longer exist.  Do I think I (or even a large team of like minds) can destroy pop in all forms?  No, there will always be shitty pop music.  I do think that this speciific genre ("pop-punk") can be killed though.  I introduce my cousin to "Band A", if she likes them, she will introduce her friends to "Band A", if they like it, they will introduce their friends to it, and so on.  If enough people help, no one will have to listen to pop-punk ever again.

I think that very little choice is involved when a young adolescent listens to this shit, it is simply the lack of a better option.  She has no reason to know about "They Might Be Giants" (great suggestion) or "The Pixies", that is why I want to introduce them to her.  Then my job is done, and it is up to her to make the right choice.

ASturge:
So what you are saying is, you are going to let her make her own choice?

What are you disagreeing with me about then!?

Kai:
YOU CANNOT KILL GOOD CHAROLETTE. THEY WILL NOT DIE.

Unless it's that one level in emogame.

Also, I don't think there's any reason to have to ease someone on to your fancy indie music. Either they like it or they don't, but you don't need to ease them into liking something.

muffy:
The thing with GC  and the like is that they do have qualities about them that people will like, such as a catchy chorus or something. They don't have enough good stuff for me to warrant liking them, but that's because whatever I've heard them do, I've heard other people do better.
OK, so maybe 'qualities' is the wrong word, but there are things in there that people will like, it's just that those features that make GC listenable are more apparent in other, better bands. They're good as a bridging band, and may lead onto better things, but if she likes them, it's by no means a disaster.


I never thought I'd write  post defending Good Charlotte. I must be more drunk than I thought.

Merkava:
Death Cab usually has the verse/chorus/verse thing going on.
