There probably is more to choose from outside the mainstream market but within the mainstream market it is not diverse.
I also notice that there are more female pop stars being marketed compared to males unlike previous decades. I know I have said this argument before but I believe the industry is trying to capitalize off the sex market by only marketing female pop stars with hyper sexual images. Men mostly run the music industry anyway.
I guess my only question would be... why?
It is fine if they only wanted to do that for 2 or 3 pop stars but it appears all the big pop mainstream artists are females who market a hyper sexual image.
I think its an issue because mainstream music is targeted toward children and they are only marketing images versus actual music.
