Music demographics

The format in the last couple of years has gone through an
identity crisis. You have stations that are too cool, that
move too quickly and are only playing the coolest music,
which doesn't at the end of the day attract enough of the
audience. Or you have the other extreme, dumb rock,
red-state rock that the cool kids just flat out aren't
into.

-- Kevin Weatherly, program director of KROQ,
a closely watched 'alternative' radio station in Los Angeles.
