Interesting, but generalizes the results of a study on all listeners and ignores MTV, record labels, and mockingbird's narcissistic influence to drive the article's narrative. People use social hierarchies that surround authentic culture opportunistically. Solution is to focus on the authentic art and those who make it from pure human expression and self reflection, while allowing those with mature taste to have equal footing with those who have world class talent - rather than boosting and venerating charismatic 'leaders' who can normalize the perverse antisocial behavior of power seekers.
