The pop musicians often leave meaning in the dust and substitute it for cartoons. The deeper artists - the grunge artists in the world and the emoticon people - tend to leave all of the happiness out of life like it just doesn't exist.

Summary

This quote suggests that pop musicians prioritize superficial and entertaining elements in their music, disregarding deeper meaning. They are compared to cartoons, which implies a lack of substance. On the other hand, "grunge artists" and "emoticon people" are associated with a more intense and emotional expression of art, often choosing to focus on the darker aspects of life, leaving no room for happiness. In essence, the quote highlights the contrast between artists who embrace shallowness and those who prioritize authenticity and raw emotions.
