        I read somewhere that limp bizkit was the best example of how payola creates popularity, elevating bad music, but i read it so, so long ago. I wish i could find it again cuz i bet id understand it a lot more

          Limp bizkit and Nickelback during the early 2000s might have been a first step towards leftist politics for me. They just played those two fucking groups and Nirvana and sublime every hour every day. And obviously the music was trash.

          But then I learned about clear channel and starting listening to an indie radio station. Made me start hating how capitalism ruined fucking music.
