  • Grammys 2015: Beck's Victory a Conspiracy to Destroy Rock Music (Not Just A Slight to Beyoncé)...Says Trapt

    Beck was somewhat the victim despite winning the Album of The Year award at the 2015 Grammys last night, due to the social media backlash he faced from...everybody who thought Beyoncé was going to won and should have won (probably the same folks behind the #WhoIsBeck trend).
