Okay, okay. Music nerds etc. I just have to adress one point you made here, crissindahouse; you have to concede that as far as art goes, you can't compare the intricate, technical and wildly impressive works of Beethoven with some teenager making bleats and beeps in Ejay and completes a "song" in thirty minutes.
Or is your point merely badly formulated?
Also, bands like the Black Eyed Peas do not take nearly as long to complete their songs as Metallica, for instance. Now, I'm not saying that production times equals quality but there is often a link there in many cases, be it developing a new car, writing/recording/editing/producing/distributing a song, making a movie, writing a book, making a videogame etc.
Yes, Black Eyed Peas is fine for drunk kids on the dancefloor who only need a melodic excuse to grind against each other like dogs in heat much the same way that Mac & Cheese is fine for said kids wanting a meal with no flare or taste.
This reminds me somewhat of the sales = quality discussion we've had ongoing on Vgchartz since the beginning. The amount of people a product entertains or the sales is in no way a good direct measure of it's inherent quality. Twilight is a good example of this.
The more mediocre something is, the broader the appeal, simple as that.
Mind you, I am in no way condemning other peoples tastes in games or music or movies, I'm simply stating the obvious (above point). Some things cannot be compared (Creedence and Backstreet Boys, one a band with talented men who made music out of their love for it, the other a product of PR people who sold wet dreams to tween girls for the simple aim of making money). If we push this flawed logic ever onwards, one can state, simply by the number of people entertained by it and the frequency of ownership, that farts are the greatest quality entertainment in the world.
