What's Wrong With Pretty Girls?

EDIT: Here are links to all but three of my other Rules Of The Game columns (LVW's search results for "Rules of the Game"). Links for the other three (which for some reason didn't get "Rules Of The Game" in their titles), are here: #4, #5, and #8.

UPDATE: I've got all the links here now:

If we're thinking of a cause and effect theory then the fact that people my age grew up with Spice Girls, Steps and Backstreet Boys as their introduction to music is quite promising for current and future new acts to not be so snotty about integrity. However, I worry for when people a few years younger than me are the new 18-20 year olds getting into music careers as their intro to music was Busted, Green Day and My Chemical Romance - I hope I'll be living abroad by the time this lot get their turn!

The teenagers ten years ago were all Green Day fans too, but I get your point ;-)

True! I'm thinking American Idiot era of Green Day fans here. They seemed to act as a bridge into rock music for a lot of teenagers who were 13/14 at that time.
