No talent needed

I know I'm not really old enough to start bitching about the youth of our nation, but it's not gonna stop me. Things have got to change!
I'm going to give you a simple test. Go to youtube.com and do a search for Bark at the Moon, Free bird, or Sweet child of mine. Go ahead and do it. Where once you'd see music videos from Ozzy Osborne, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and Guns n' Roses (or normal guys with guitars playing the songs), you'll now find NERDS posting videos of themselves playing GUITAR HERO!
Freakin weak! As both a guitar player and a video gamer, I can appreciate "guitar hero" for what it is, a game. But some people just don't know how to draw the line between actually doing something, and faking it.
Even my own 10 year old cousin has fallen into this trap. He is amazing at this game, but his real guitar sits in a pile of dust in the corner. I keep telling him that if he practiced even HALF as much on his real guitar as he did the fake one, he'd really be able to shred. But I guess playing a real instrument is too old school for him.
And what's worse than guitar hero, is that now there's "Rock Band" that comes with guitar, bass, fake microphone, and fake drum shaped controllers! Gone are the days of confused teens forming bands with their friends in the garage to try and impress girls, now they have a game to do it all for them.
What's next? Will we become a society in 10 years where nobody needs to be talented at anything anymore, because there's a video game that allows us to fake it and sound better? We gotta make a change people, but how?
