I have always tapped the annals of Wikipedia for three years. It is one of the most noble elements of the internet as it provides meticulous information about virutally any facet of human knowledge. Though, I've noticed a particular quirk about many of its croniclers: metaphorical terms being used in the literal sense through its network of cross-referencing.

This is manifested in this particular passage about Teen-Pop:

"Teen pop bands are almost always made or prefabricated, not born, and admittedly so."

Unless you struggle with the definition of Pre-fabrication, theres no real reason to link to its literal definition when its used in this hyperbolic context.

This is the equivilent of saying:

"Joesph Stalin's Great Purges were very draconian policies"

Draconian is linked to the race of Dragon Humanoids in the AD&D Campaign Setting Dragonlance.

Anyway, wikipedia gives substance to my otherwise vapid existance.
