I think there are many reasons why so many people in the music industry are poopooheads is to do with the fact that there are a lot of poopooheads on the planet (I can sympathize with Hobbs’s take on human nature)!

Several observations:

Often it is the lowest common denominator prevails, look at popular music.

As we are dealing with opinion there is no correct answer or even a testable hypothesis there for opinion is paramount.

The self opinionated (who shout loudest) often refuse to see any one else’s point regardless of how intelligent or relevant it is.

Many people believe they will appear cool of the appear to be indifferent to potentially exciting things and or hurt / dominate people smaller than they are.

Where there is money to be made, there will allways be sharks !

Im not bitter honest !!!
