This isn't about the old versus the young, its about the general decline in pop music due to manufactured pop artists that cannot compose their own music.

When you have pop artists relying on dj's to use samples and arpeggios to make your music, your going to have more and more music sounding redundant and the same as LL points out in the study.

I did say there has been a turn around, (Lady Gaga, Pharrell Williams, Goyte, Foster the People ect) but there is still a widespread culture in the corporate music world to simply sign an artist based on their image, and hire a producer to slap together a crappy sampled R & B or dance beat and run their vocals through pro tools because they can't do it on their own.
