What has music come to?

We all know that there are songs that are, lets face it, haphazard and half-ass productions. Maybe the writer didn't intend for us to see right through their authenticity and lies in the music. When people try to make up a character that's totally fine, but when you try to pass your real self as this fiction character that you are not, then we have a problem. Singers go so far to get noticed that they are willing to push a stale and distasteful image to the public that they loose what's left of themselves to copy something or someone they can never be. Maybe it's just me? Can we differentiate between what's real and what's completely bs? And some people like me, like the characters that some people portray because they put real elements of themselves inside it, but when you boast about this is/was your life and we can clearly see that, that's not the case because of what you previously stated then you sir have lost a fan. If you as an artist are going to create a character at the very least put things that people can relate to and use in their lives, and if you don't it's a waste of your time and everyone else's.
  I hate to bash any one type of gene, but the main gene that is phenomenal for it is rap. Rap in general from what I see is people talking about the struggle to accomplish things in life and obstacles that they had to face, but what happens when they already rapped about the struggle now it's about the women, the cars, and all the idiotic things a person could want in life. You now start to realize that this artist has change from one thing to someone completely different.
