All I am saying is that the Disney trend is distinctly more corporate from pop music of the past and such a backlash isn't surprising.

2 things, and they're points I've made time and again here, so I won't go into any detail.
1. Authenticity is, was, and ever shall be bullshit. Music is an ARTFORM. Pearl Jam are SHIT. They can play their instruments, and they sing about their REAL LIFE but they are SHIT.
2. Any negative criticism of the marketing model of a band made by a fan of Sonic Youth is inherently dubious. Ashtray Navigations use marketing, they just don't have the clout of Disney.
