MTV and other mainstream programs and the radio put out the music that they think will be popular because they want to make a profit so teenagers eat what they are fed through a feeding tube and get Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears shoved in their ears. The teenagers who have half a brain go out and look for underground or less known artist and look for decent music instead of the new The Fray song. Teens are also influenced by the mainstream in the opposite way. Punks, emo kids, scene kids, ska kids, and other teens hate they mainstream and purposely avoid and hate any music that is play on VH1 or MTV. FUSE is sometimes considered as a good way to discover underground by some people, but it really is just another corporation flinging songs and artists into the spotlight for profit. Go out and buy some local stuff! I'm 15 and when i find a song on itunes or from movie that i like and listen to alot, i start to listen to the artist more and then i get attached to that artist, after a while i find a new song that i like by a new artist, and eventually listen to the artist. i listen to all music but 85% is rap, and i like all kinds of rap artists, eminem, lil wayne, tech n9ne, Kanye West, jay z, lots of rap
