"So now you cut, cut until the head comes off"

So my current work schedule has me awake with nothing to do during the time when VH1 and MTV actually show music videos (i.e. when no one else on the planet is actually watching TV). This has afforded me the opportunity to catch up on what's happening in popular music. I can tell you one thing that it didn't take me long at all to learn. I can't stand most of what is on MTV. Yes, a whole lot of what VH1 plays sucks, but MTV makes me murderous. Basically, I think I hate black music. Call me a racist if you must, but I find it unlistenable.
The thing about VH1 is the vast disparity between the videos they show. I'm the type who always just assumed that if it was popular it was crap, and for the most part, I still think that holds true. However there are, miraculously, a few bands that don't suck getting air time. Have there always been artists like The Civil Wars, Adele, Mutemath, and Mumford & Sons on VH1 or is this a new developement? And yet somehow VH1 still manages to show videos by Justin Bieber and Beyonce.
The other day I saw the video for Seal's "Kiss from a Rose" for the first time, even though it's something like ten years old, and I can honestly say it's the worst music video I have ever seen. The song was already ridiculous, but the video is the most obscene piece of crap ever pooped out of the music industries bloated rear-end.
As far as more recent music goes, Hot Chelle Rae's song "Tonight, Tonight" is stupid. Just stupid. It sounds catchy at first, but half a listen is enough to make me wonder how the instrumentalists don't kill themselves out of sheer boredom.
I want to say nice things about Demi Lovato because she is an outspoken fan of good music (e.g. Maylene & the Sons of Disaster), but "Skyscraper" is not good. It's laughable.
VH1 is showing a video oby Dawes as I write this. There's nothing wrong with Dawes except that there is nothing right with them. "Time Spent in Las Angeles" has a chorus that sounds like it was ripped straight from The Eagles, and it bores me to death.
Lest you think I have only negative things to say, Mutemath's "Blood Pressure" is a fun video and one of the reasons I have hope for the future of the music industry.
As a side note before I stop wasting your time (why should I worry if your life is sad enough to actually be reading this anyway), why does VH1 find it necessary to edit out "gun" and "bullets" from Foster the People's "Pumped Up Kicks"? This is why this country is going to hell.
