1. Using indie/punk/alternative songs in advertisements - and not using the originals.. Example: National City Bank using Brass in Pocket ("I'm Special") - sung by Manhattan Transfermania.

2. Divas Live.

3. Revisionist history documentaries. Testimonials from celebrities claiming to be awestruck then, by now-revered bands that you know they didn't give a shit about at the time, had they even heard them. Examples: Everything from Richard Marx claiming to like the Smiths (OK I made that up) to Shania Twain's Ramones t-shirt.

4. "The music industry is facing its worst year ever, thanks to file-sharing."

5. $3.50 service charge + $1.50 convenience charge + $2.25 internet charge + $3.50 shipping.

5. Sex Pistols reunion. Any of 'em.

(x-post : if there's a new Mr. Rogers that's lame enough to have its own category; didn't they learn after trying to pull that shit on "The Dukes of Hazzard"?)
