who said they were unpopular? you are still clearly missing the point. read carefully: popular bands today are generally not very talented. just because they are popular does not mean they are talented enough to stay on top... the music industry keeps putting out crap, and for some reason it sells.. who knows why. people, including you, think they are talented because they are in fact popular. a prime example of this is nirvana.. kurt cobain had literally no musical talent whatsoever... but, he got put on mtv, people heard him, and because they saw him on mtv he became a rock god.. then sold a bunch of albums, and became popular... am i making any sense?
