Corey Taylor of Slipknot/Stone Sour fame recently spoke some comments about young metalheads (or millennial metalheads) as well as pop music. Within both topics, Corey makes some valid points. Pop music is indeed rather plastic and computerized, which can be frustrating for a pure artist watching these fools win record sales for limited effort. In the same breath, newer metalheads (at least some of them) seem overly focused on the present and don't turn back the clock and discover where their favorite artists came from, or what their influences sounded like.

Throughout the history of this channel, the encouragement has always been to listen to music from all eras, and never be ashamed of it. This is a great time in history to do that, considering all the tools we have at our disposal to accomplish this very feat. There's something to be said about trial of a band or sound and disliking it, but those who simply ignore it gain nothing, and shouldn't have a hand in debating it.

Pop music should be a bit more based on real talent. In spite of big stars selling well, Adele smashed all of them with a pure and raw album about a breakup, one that exists in history as one of the most commercially successful albums of all time. Some fancy hijinks probably allowed pristine polish in the studio for the final product, but Adele's live performances prove that her voice is pure talent, and not doctored.

We should keep exploring, and never stop. The minute we cease as scavengers of sound is the minute we fail as music fans, and yes, that includes those who listen to "everything."
