Is that actually what you're inferring?You've GOT to be kidding.
It'd be enough of a waste of time to debate the jokes some might consider points if you didn't destroy any credibility with this notion. Todd can pontificate on his dead-horse-beaten point about people choosing their music on the basis of factors other than music, or that people are afraid to criticize music because it's not PC or something, but ultimately it doesn't matter. That sort of thing is mostly limited to music writer who few pay much attention to anyway.
Elvis & opera, like rap & post-1990 rock merely a 'cacophony' that people listen to & buy because they have bad taste, or because society dictates that people should pay more attention to what's 'relevant' than actually make a choice based on their own like or dislike. Great theory, unbelievably overstated in actual practice.
I'll leave you guys to it.
