The fact that Paramore won an award for Best Rock Song and Beck won for Best Rock Album shows you that there's gotta be a conspiracy going around to destroy the essence of what rock music is all about. The establishment doesn't want anything too threatening or in your face to rile you up, they just want you to nod to adult pop punk;) or indie folk electronica and think it's "rock."

This is like that conspiracy of the Private Prison Industry to influence Gangsta Rap.
They wanted to create their own best customers.
Totally legit.

Re: Trapt: Grammys are a "conspiracy" to destroy rock music
Seriously, thinking back to the two Trapt songs I ever heard on the radio, they were hardly "threatening or in your face" they were pretty much awful. Like, maybe local or regional "hard rock" band caliber (barely) but not something that should've taken off nationally like it did back in what, 2004 or whatever.
They sound mad bros.

Yup.
But I should clarify. They're poor and mad.

It would have made me so happy if Beck just hauled off and punched him in his stupid fucking face. Or even better, pushed him down the stairs, after punching him in his stupid fucking face.

I'm trying to imagine a world where Beck is violent though. I'm pretty sure that would've created some sort of paradox and the world would've exploded.
Which hey, really is cool by me.

Didn't AC/DC open the show? Doesn't get much more rock than that.

Re: Trapt: Grammys are a "conspiracy" to destroy rock music
The Grammys are the industry celebrating the industry. As such, it's not about music. It's about sales.
Anybody reading more into it than that is out of their fucking minds, and possibly, jelly as feck.
