so fifty cent gets shot 9 times and its this butch macho, cool, lets put this on the press release thing.

and dizzee rascall gets stabbed, and its the same shit

and jack white beats the shit out of someone for no real good reason, and he gets off with 500 dollar fine and made some kind of folk hero.

(add onto that all the homophobic/racist/misogynst discourse that goes on in rock--thinking of rolling stones brown sugar on the radio today, for one)

does it (popular music meant mostly for men (is that fair ?)feed on discord, on violence, on hate, on anger ?

No. In every field you'll find the whole range of human emotion, scattered among different personalities. Sports, literature, acting, you name it. Racists, hotheads, weaklings, realists, pessimists, lyers, cheaters, honest ones, arrogant ones, shy ones, etc.

But sex + violence = headlines, literature + intellectualism = pennies a word for your local paper. Guess what sells?
