Are the Grammys honoring 'good, indie music', or is it 'the same old industry machine circle jerk'?

Yesterday was a popular awards show called 'The Grammys.' From what I understand, this awards system is supposed to 'award' the best music of the year. It seems like it is some sort of 'system to perpetuate the popularity + album sales of the same artists/labels/bands/etc.'

As I have read alternative coverage of the Grammys/all mainstream award shows, it seems like these are the 'prevalent themes.'
Indie music 'has arrived.'
The Grammys aren't 'honoring' the 'best' indie music
Indie music has been 'stolen' from 'us' and
__________ (mnstrm artist) sux
The Grammys are 'irrelevant bullshit'

Phoenix won 'Best Alternative Music Album.' Not sure what that award title means/who was in the category. I feel like maybe the French bros in Phoenix didn't realize that Americans 'get dressed up' for our awards shows. Maybe they thought it was an MTV/Nickelodeon kidz award show.

Kings of Leon won 3 Grammys for their hit song "Use Somebody", confirming that it is the vulnerable mnstrm anthem of the year/decade/century. I think they are in the genre of rock, since their award titles were 'Best Rock Performance By A Duo Or Group', 'Best Rock Song' and the prestigious 'Record Of The Year'.

MGMT also went to the Grammys, but they were sort of just 'nominated' and probably just looked like a 'zany one hit wonder band' to mainstreamers.

I think they also gave Stephen Colbert a Grammy just to 'get more hits/coverage.'

Here is more coverage of 'mainstream pop culture' at the Grammys.

I think this is the broad from the popular MTV show 'Jersey Shore.' I am not sure if she won a Grammy, or if she is just there for being Macrofamous.

This is apparently her live-in boyfriend, The Situation. Wonder if that show was a 'mainstream hit' or just another 'micro-sensation' like The Office.

The middle Jonas brother tries 2 'look alt' by growing strategic facial scruff + putting on sillie framed glasses.

Apparently the post-tween Jonas Brother married a guidette after the 'Jersey Shore' wave of 2k9k10. Seems ill-advised, like the same as 'marrying a pog/beanie babie/digipet.'

Popular American Idol homosexual sensation Adam Lambert.

Unpopular American Idol nonsensation Justin Guarini.

I think this crazy African American man was there because he was created as an 'off beat' character by the popular Fox TV show American Idol. Sort of like the 'Negro William Hung.'

I think the Black Eyed Peas are the last remaining soldiers in the Electro War. Like a lost group of fighters who no1 told that the war is over, but they are still on the Battlefield.

Apparently Lady Gaga had some performance with Sir Elton John.

It seems like you 'have to invite her' to any award show for the next 50 years, just to see her wear something zany.

Wonder how she transports her costumes. Suitcases? Rubermaid containers?

Popular Bro Comedy superstars from the Andy Samberg Lonely Island Viral Video Productions Centre.

I think Taylor Swift still thinks that 'awards are real.' She seems proud. As time moves forward, more people will 'sympathize' with Kanye West, sort of like the Kobe Vs. Shaq feud.

I think the Grammys is an opportunity for Cool Dads to bond with their kids.

Or for Cool Dads to just have a 'bros night out.'

Does n e 1 know if Musicians get Dental Insurance, or do they just cover their teeth with blingee jewels?

Zany free spirited mom lady. (progressive bag lady)/(Lady Gaga in 2-20 years)

Wonder if Mario Lopez will ever 'recover' from being A.C. Slater.

Billy Ray Cyrus and his wife (formerly married to Tom Cruise)

Their spawn, tween sensation Miley Cyrus.

Do yall remember the song 'Sonny Came Home' by Shawn Colvin? Apparently she is still 'relevant' in the mainstream industry.

Think Stephen Colbert probs made some sort of 'topical' iPad joke.

Jamie Foxx performed 'in character' as his Academy award winning role 'Ray Charles (ft T-Pain).'

Do yall think Uffie is 'rolling around in her bloghouse grave after Ke$ha got so popular?

Popular Twilight-era rock band Paramore.

Popular teen angst band Linkin Park.

2 Bros with shit eating grins.

Zooey Deschanel shows off her bangs + back.

The Britney Spears + her BF Kevin Federline

Project Runway lady + her husband, Seal, singer of 'Kiss from a Rose.'

Stevie Nicks 'sells her soul' 2 appeal to the Tween Market. Wonder if she saw an iTunes sale bump

Michael Jackson's kids were 'carted out' to preserve the memory of their father, the recently assassinated Michael Jackson. I think that is 'Blanket' and Paris Jackson.

Feel like the creepiest bros of the night were their cousins, who look like Michael Jackson (with nose job + black skin)

Creeped out, like they are some sort of hologram image.

Still really crushing on Paris Jackson. like I need to 'buy stock' in her before she turns into a teen fashion icon/does tons of drugs/gains lots of weight/marries Macaulay Culkin.
