Well, at least before the CAM era[1], you had to make minimal effort
to make crap music (learning 4 guitar chords {three's ok if you put
enough saturation in the sound}, taking a 10 hours drum lesson, 10
minutes bass lesson, spend some time rehearsing and there you go).
Now, the computer can generate music for you, and what's more, music
that will sound even better than what some people would ever manage to
play, With no effort on your part. *That* is a new form of crap. And
yes, people pay big bucks for it ;-)

[1] eh, eh, that was not intentional, but I'm quite proud of that one ;-)
