That girl in the first picture was my fave - made me want to bust out one of my old plaid skirts. Despite the extreme level of awesomeness, I didn't make it through the whole show because it was so incredibly hot. I'm hoping now that Girls Rock Camp has proved its a force to be reckoned with, maybe next year the venue will think about turning on the AC!
Although it's more about television and video games rather than music, an interesting book on this topic is "Everything Bad is Good For You" by Steven Johnson. Whether or not you agree with him, it's an interesting read.
I have a degree in music and a huge and varied music collection, and have every right to be a music snob...but I'm not. A lot of indie music is just as banal as the crap on 104 - its just made with less synth and more syllables. I love Bon Iver and Joanna Newsom, but there's nothing like blasting Beyonce when you're driving on 59 with the windows down.
I agree with Robert - it's good to limit the amount of junk you consume, but sometimes the metaphorical vegan cookies have more fat then the Chips Ahoy. And sometimes I just want a damn candy bar.

That's worse than a middle school choir concert...except I think we had a better Casio when I was in fifth grade.
Holy shit, the Postal Service album came out seven years ago? I feel old.
