yea but Radix, a lot of moshers/goths whatever they like to be called in this day and age all say "i hate maintstream music" then go and play Blink182 thinking they are different because they like rock.
me? i really dont like anything modern mainstream, hell i never listen to the radio or watch TV i havnt a clue whos big at the moment but from what i can tell its all about image and sex and drugs. gimme some Bowie anyday. gimme music that isnt bothered about gangsters wanting to look like they own a city, or some teeny singers with guitars who say they are the biggest thing in rock since the Beatles.
Mainsteam rap culture has blown out into ridiculous proportions. It's basically getting more and more similiar.
All you have to do is look at the stupid video clips they make, listen to the structure of each song, and get a general feel for what the lyrics are say and you'll realise most of it's the same old shit. You know...you're driving around in fat assed cars, playing some fat assed beats, and picking up fat assed biatches.
Why can't it be like the good old days of music where a seemingly innocent song like Hotel California can be about drug addiction, or Puff The Magic dragon can mean something completely differently. Subtlety and depth are wasted on this newage rap music I feel. Music just isn't the same, and is suffering.

What the fuck does that have to do with anything? They can listen to Brittany fucking Spears for all I care, it has nothing to do with anything I said.
Yeah, Muggus. They were good times. I mean, even something like 'Good Vibrations'... the explicit message is as clear as day, and nobody thought of it.
Although I agree that mainstream is a load of tosh, you still have more good new singers/bands coming through (IMO) than before (c)rap gained popularity. People who know how to sing properly and know what a decent tune sounds like. (e.g. Jamie Cullum, Katie Melua, I'll mention them because nobody else will. Oh, and the Downbeats (secret reference))
a few good rappers i suggest to you who are probably best lyricists out there:
Nas, Kanye West(listen to "thru the wire"), Common(havent heard him, but my bro reccomends it) and a bit of Jay-Z. all are probably the best rappers out there, and they dont rap about the same old shit.
