I agree with you to an extent especially the part when you said we use to have more variety but not all radio stations play the same hits so you can't really say all the mainstream media is just recycling the same stuff.
Beyond good or bad taste i think the main influence that drives the mainstream is simply popularity and you can't decide for ppl what should be popular so boycotting popular music is a bit elitist and besides, what are you gonna replace it with? won't their replacement continue the same cycle?
It seems no matter what genre or group that becomes part of the mainstream is gonna be opposed by somebody so i think even if you got what you desire out of mainstream music another person would make another thread just like this one.
