While I agree with you, I want you to think about record company executives, and what they made popular for a certain specific group to shape their culture for decades.
And then who those record company execs are, and what tactics they employ to keep their artists in line, one way or another.
How many times did an artist speak their mind once, and only once. And then all of a sudden we don't hear from them for months or even years. And when we do see them again, they're completely out of their gourd on drugs, and the people in their inner circle around them let it happen, every single time.
If you step out of line, they'll do whatever they need to do to shut you up. Even tank your career and ostracize you. They know for every artist out there, even one making them tons of money, there's 50 more waiting to take that person's place who will do and say whatever it takes to be as famous as the last person.
They shaped not only culture, but what is and is not heard on the radio, and played on MTV back when that was a thing in the 80s and 90s.
