Yeah, no. Not really. the underground is a significant source of more innovative music - innovation and experimentation being the reason it's not mainstream (kinda "duh" but whatever). Who truly innovated pop in the past? In the 60s there was mainstream attention, but after that who did? Since the 80s it's primarily been indie/experimental musicians (the Pixies, Husker Du, REM, Radiohead, etc.). Ok, just so your panties won't be in a bunch, we could say Frank Ocean is revitalizing the pop R&B/Soul scene, and Lady Gaga/Rihanna are bringing prominence to electronic music. But they're not the first, and they're definitely not the most innovative in their field (some of Frank's sound is directly aligned with Marvin/Wonder, and techno sprung from the underground almost twenty years ago).
If you feel so entitled to snark, why don't you actually bring some ideas to the table.
