They don't live in the world I live in.Money,glitz and glam change everything. Also,what on earth do I possibly want to hear their opinion for? Its not rooted in anything that remotely parallels my exsperience as a person.Music is to a degree soley entertainment, Im not saying it can't changes lives etc,but if I wanted a politcal debate or the 411 I'd turn on the news or an election.
You're right

However, I think it is both. I think today's pop stars are shallow and I think there is an agenda to push superficial ideas and themes in place of more substance in music.

Like many have mentioned already, this is not "solely" the fault of the pop stars.
