I often wonder what music people who complain about "the mainstream" think should replace it. What is "intellectual" music - or music for those that aren't radio-listening baby children?

I have seen that study on the "dumbing down" of pop music, but I believe it was only referencing the last ~10 years. Would be curious to see how they compare to the 60s-70s. I can't imagine The Beatles or Rolling Stones are writing lyrics at an English Language PhD level.
