Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It has always been about money for the labels, but they at least used to take risks, and find new talented bands, develop them, and promote them. But it's riskier and takes a lot more work. An artist needs a minimum of about 10,000 hours of experience before they're studio ready, and the whole band needs to be at that level. If they find someone new and unique at that level, they still need to develop them as performers, and get them prepared to play big gigs, tour, work together in a studio, etc.. It's much easier for them to find someone attractive who knows some dance moves, and have them perform studio written songs based on proven profitable beats.

You are describing The Sex Pistols. But they were harder than the music their parents listened to. (In the 1970's, the parents would have listened to 1940's music.)
