I'm about as indie as you can get right now, but I won't tell you to stop listening to ****ty music. I'll just tell you that you should ALSO listen to other things. My gripe with bands like Nickleback is that they consitute the Canadian Content on the radio and that's taking away from other artists that could use the help and the popularity. Everytime a Canadian band gets played on the radio they get money. So when the only time you get to hear New Pornographers or Stars on the radio is on CBC radio 3...that hurts.
Is it fair that bands like Nickleback get to fly around the world because they're rolling in money while a band like Chixdiggit (for example) has to come back to Calgary and work ****ty jobs just so that they can pay for their next tour? I don't think so, sure Chixdiggit may not be what people want to hear, but the fact that they'll never get airtime on CJAY because it's easier to play Nickleback ****es me off.
