Music, music is a wonderful thing. It can inspire endless quantities of human emotions which infuse the appropriate listener's mind with a feeling of euphoria, which many people can think of as their "Passport" to another world or reality.
The emotions the music evokes however are wildly variously different and can range from the most poignant feelings of well-being or elation to extreme anger or rage.
We, the listeners when alone, choose the music we allow to enter our ears and reverberate through our ear-drums. This music is specifically chosen by us for a certain reason. It may not be a certain song but a certain playlist that we desire. However we still choose the music that we listen to.

In the case of younger people, music isn't as much obtained independently as it is thrust upon them.
If you haven't been asleep for the past few years then you won't find the fact that the norm musical tastes of younger people now tend to be breaking away from the norm exceptionally strange.
Yes it's true, no longer are these the days of bands such as Take that and Boyzone. They are too "commercial" these days for most young people. So to distance themselves from these "commercial bands" they have broken away from pop to form a new pop, and ultimately a new norm musical taste for todays young people as you shall come to see.
It isn't exactly uncommon to see a young child of around 8 wearing a hoody sporting a "Slipknot" symbol these days.
However now as these facts have been digested by those who have not been asleep the past few years, a new kind of pop has emerged for those children who want to not like music that Take that provided, this new type of pop is being sold to all young people interested in the latest music.
This new pop consists of bands like My Chemical Romance and Funeral For A Friend. You may have noticed that these bands have suddenly been commercialised, it's for todays young people who want to be different but are actually all nearly inadvertantly listening to the same thing. This is because these certain bands make music that are easily accessible to people of a young age with "pretty" guitar noises and fairy elegant soaring vocals with real meaning to them. But it's the meaning of these songs, for me, are the problem with these bands.
For example, just look at the name Funeral For A Friend it hardly instills happiness. These bands are being fed to young people who through no fault of their own are swallowing it. This new pop which has become the new norm musical taste for young people is filled with sorrowful heart-wrenching songs that leave oneself thorougly depressed and in need of some good old Eels music. But to younger people, there is no such band as eels, they don't exist as long as they don't occupy top of the tops so they have nothing to resort to when feeling depressed but some more depressing My Chemical Romance. Growing up with this kind of music blaring out, intoxicating all orifices, leaves more than a mark. It leaves a sense of over-whelming lack lustre in regards to life and the world. These bands are almost selling the slogan "Life?...What's the point? There's too much sadness" which is no view for a healthy youngster to take.

What I can't believe is that fantastic down to earth bands like The Rakes, The Fall, Artic Monkeys, Pavement, Flaming Lips and Bearsuit for example, go down as completely inaccessible bands to children due to the lack of promotion in the eyes of younger generations. When the music they actually make is full of happiness, hope and luck. Exactly the ideal mentality of a youngster.
But instead they are being forced songs of love and heartbreak, being shown videos of Funerals of loved ones and car crashes of best friends.

End the tyranny that is over-emotional music, that is being aimed at children who can't handle this excessive pain and angst yet.
