it's not that they think it's right... it's because that's the only music they have easy access to. it's the only thing that appeals to them because they have so much thrown at them all at once, that they sort of have to shut down in order to deal with it all. if The Smiths were played all the time on TV & Radio, then no one would be having this discussion. it's media that's wrong, not the teens.
... and as I said in my earlier post, most teens would be VERY interested, but you have to give them a reason why, instead of acting like they're dumb and not giving them the light of day. again, with the way the world is evolving, these teens need something that's in their hands [or iPods, rather] quick & easy. if you don't think they should be listening to anything on Disney, then buy them a Smiths record. (but they really won't listen to you if you act like their music is dumb! ) you just have to be understanding, and then show them that there's more out there than what they're force fed.
and when i say "you" i mean anyone in general, this isn't exactly pointed at one specific person... thus, i didn't quote anyone else's post.
