Why Is iTunes So Judgemental?

Like many people who have embraced the 21st Century, I almost exclusively by my music from iTunes.  I find it very convenient.  I can sample the music before I buy it - if only I could have done that when I was younger, I would have saved so much money on cds I only bought for like one good song. Also, given my awesome, yet specialized, taste in music, I can actually get artists that you may only find in large cd stores, which are inconvenient to go to.

However, I am not a fan of some of the artist bios and album descriptions that are on iTunes.  I get that my taste in music is not mainstream, but that doesn't mean iTunes can be a jerk about the bands I love!

I am a big fan of punk music, particularly pop punk, in its various forms.  Idk how many times I have read some not nice things about the genre from descriptions on iTunes.  Like how the like to mention the genre has no range, and that band's album is surprisingly good given the limitations of the genre.  To that, I say "Screw You!"  A genre is only as limited as the artists chose to make it (and I think they are awesome, so bite me).  Or maybe the iTunes editors are just limited in their exposure to the music, so they don't know what they are talking about. Booooooooo!!

Or like today, I purchased the Black Veil Brides "Wretched and Divine" album (because it's awesome!). And yes, eventually the editor got to just how good the music is and that the band is freaking awesome.  But first, they have to take a dig at their appearance.  After the long winded, and rather rude description of how the band presents itself physically, the praise of their music seems more back handed or incredulous.  Frankly, I find this uber insulting.  BVB has a very dedicated fan base (which is very much deserved, and one of the reason I checked their music out in the first place).  An album description is not the place to make such insulting comments.  Granted, if someone's music is bad, then make an objective observation of that.  But don't be an ass hole just because you don't understand a style of music or an artist.

So basically, that's my rant.  I get I don't listen to the most popular music, but for those of us that like it, we are very dedicated, perhaps more so than many other types of music.  Maybe instead of letting their editors be uneducated douche bags, iTunes can actually hire someone to edit the info who's not lame.  Instead, have someone who actually gets it make these descriptions, so at least they can be accurate, and give great music its fair dues.
