Music definition and general rant about the music industry

I discovered a male artist today saying he is a bubble grime artist. This made me laugh and incredibly affronted by this statement. Bubble Grime is a feminist movement within the underground Grime scene. It is about being a woman, emotional and promotes female independence. For a man to say he is a bubble grime artist is either gay or doesn't know the meaning because the grime scene is anti woman and is very un emotional.

It makes me think is it up to the critics or the artists to define what genre of music they fit in? If so then there are some serious problems within the music industry that needs to be rectified, for example the commercialisation of underground movements like Grime and Dubstep, also the ratio between male and female artists and the quality of popular music.

It seems to me that artists need to be re-educated about music history and its respective genres. How can we go from the Beatles to JLS? Popular music in my opinion has been watered down and sexed up as its more about looks than actual talent.

Instead of X factor and Britain's got Talent why don't music scouts go out and actually find the artists that will change music history and stand the test of time. To be honest if I ever have grand children they will not be listening to anything from the last 20 years I have experienced except from the underground scenes and Eminem unless the music industry actually sorts its self out and the real undiscovered hard working talent gets the recognition it deserves.

Even radio DJs who are famous for new talent actually don't target the actual audience, its almost like they are thinking its a day shift not a night shift for instance like Tim Westwood and Logan Sama on BBC Radio 1. Listening to them I feel like the don't know anything about the genres the represent and play on their shows.

It makes me so angry especially because I am a music lover that's why I do what I do, for the love of music. If I didn't love it I wouldn't have studied it to the extent I have. If only some of the artists actually studied music history to change the future of what we listen to.
