American Rock Music?

You might be wondering what the title of my blog means or what its referring to but I will explain myself.  I was thinking to myself the other day and started to realize something about American rock music, its not good.  When I turn on the radio I hear the same thing over and over, pop rock music that is so mainstream that it all sounds the same.  You have bands like Metro Station or Good Charolette that have one hit wonder songs and they blow up.  But why? They're songs all sound the same, this bubble gum pop rock music that sounds exactly like the song before.  They also consider themselves alternative rock or rock when they are not.  Take a good American band like Rage Against the Machine or Red Hot Chili Peppers and compare them to the hundreds of pop rock bands that are out there ruining American music.  The biggest difference between Red Hot Chili Peppers and these pop bands is the genuine and unique sound that they lack.  My thought is that most bands start off creating their own music the way they want it to be, which is great play the music you want the way you want, all power to you.  But then they hear these so called rock bands on the radio being played over and over, and then it begins.  They start changing their music to the style of these bands to make it big and bring in the money.  They sell out their musical creativity and and another band to the list.  This way of thinking about music is horrible because it crushes creativity and difference between music.  I don't know about everyone else but I like to keep my ears and eyes open to new music, and when I keep hearing the same thing being played all the time it frustrates me.  But for some reason Europe really does not have this problem.  Take the UK for example, so many great genuine bands have come out of this country, but again there's the question of why.  I don't have an answer I guess in the UK they stick by their music it doesn't matter if you like it or not, its what they play and its what they will continue to play no matter what.  Thats always been my thoughts on how music and bands should be but thats just my opinion.
