All of the businesses out their that were trying to shape the market. Rather than to say "This is good, I like it, I'm sure that these guys would be of interest to others". Instead, they say "Rock is Dead, this is the trend. (Usually with as much staying power, as a popsicle on a very hot summer day). But, still, they still try to promote their agenda and try to create bands, trends and the like. I wish their was more groups out there with staying power. Instead of the many popcycle bands of modern times.
