The Grammys

I think that the way that the Grammys are televised to the general public, they have become a joke at large. All one sees is the bands that one has heard all year, the bands that have been pushed by big record labels, the heavy concentration of pop music. I understand that it is difficult to evaluate all the artists in the world and choose the best out of this ridiculously large compilation. However, a little more appreciation should be shown for the music that isn't necessarily recorded professionally or at least in modern studios. Maybe I'm just venting on pop music. Maybe not even pop music itself as that often enough still sounds good but the fact that pop music is aggressively pushed onto the general population from the radio, commercials and even the restaurant that I worked at this summer. I want to be able to expand my musical "horizons" but I feel like these opportunities are suppressed by pop music. Needing something to take it out on, I think I pick the Grammys as the ringleader of the source of my discontent.
