I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Hip young producers wouldn't pitch Carrie Brownstein, MCA, and Patti Smith. Not if they want to continue being called hip and young. All three are cool folks, but they have been cool folks for a long time. I think you've lost your edge, chud, or maybe just your youth.
