Yeah, I was being sarcastic. Maybe a little too much.
But it's just that I knew someone would find it necessary to speak up for the "mainstreaming" of things. It's no secret that the mundane is marketable.
Everyone understands that producing homogenized, LCD junk is less risky.
It doesn't mean that Coldplay doesn't suck. It doesn't mean that Taco Bell isn't to be avoided. It doesn't mean that I should accept whatever declines and just hop in my car, pull up to the drive-thru, order my "Coldplay/HotPak" cross-promotional Enchrito & Mini CD Meal... because the marketing dept at PepsiCo have "had an idea that the kids will love!".
