The music industry isn't about variety and creativity it's about look and image. That's what acting is about not music

Well certainly some of the music industry is like that, but not all of it. Not even all the music the self-appointed expert hates is made by people chosen because of their looks.
Nickelback isn't famous because Chad Kroeger is some Adonis. He looks like a horse for crying out loud.

look and image doesn't always mean beauty. There are alot of ugly homely men out there singing music. Still it's not like Nickelback is doing anything original. it's Creed, Default, Pearl Jam, STP all mashed together. Then you have to think is there any rock that's totally original. Maybe labels have to market the top ten sh*t to get a fan base for it on a wider scale. I have no problem with Chad I've met him many times before he hit it big in South Burnaby. He's a real nice guy, still the music is nothing mind boggling. I wouldn't demonstrate in front of his concerts to walk away. [/b][/quote]
I don't want to sound like a snob, but I do not like Nickelback at all.
But that has nothing to do with my point. They are famous for some reason I can't comprehend, but it's not because they are a bunch of beefcakes, as you implied when you said "it's about look and image".
