There are some realy good bands that have never touched drugs. Gene Simmions from KISS has never even touched alcohol. They still rock. And most DO write there own songs. The great ones DO write there own songs. Kurt Cobain from Nirvana only did his own songs. To express what he was feeling. Sure some of them were album fillers, but most reflect on him. To me, an artist's songs should reflect his life. I like a song if it some how sends a message to me. I do not confine my self to a label such as "punker", "rocker", "emo", "metal head", ETC.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
All this talk of the "ghetto" really pisses me off, you kids don't know how f*cking good you have it. If your still alive, you shouldn't be complaining. Be thankfull heavily armed soldiers aren't marching through your streets, tearing apart your homes, lives, and even flesh.
Anyone who claims that they had a hard life because they lived in the "ghetto" should read some ****ing books about the previous wars.
A little off topic, but I've been seeing it everying, and I'm sick of it.
The genre of "pop" isn't a genre, it's just popular music. So in this last few years, pop hasn't been boy bands and ****s with soundtracks, it's been gangstas with their *****es and arsenals of weapons.
Sadly enough, yes, very few people in the music industry today write they're own, heartfelt music. I don't respect someone that gets some famous fag with a pen to write them some "hip" music, but if an artist expresses their feelings or current events, things happening to them, even their life stories to the public through songs (Sometimes funny, sad, enlightening, depressing etc) and leaves the public to decide to like it or not, that my friend is music. I don't have any prefrences from rap to death metal, as long as they mean what they say and they aren't doing it for the fame, or cash.
