I do, to some extent. Plus, the majority of my music listening these days is classical music, which easily is outside this paradigm.
But complaining about modern pop music wasn't the point of this thread. It was just wondering if the pop music paradigm that's been around for more than a hundred years is ever going to come to an end. Or at least fade down to a trickle, largely overtaken by something else and reduced to an archaic niche.
Will people ever get tired of it and feel it's run its course? Or is there something about 2-5 minute snippets of music with singers singing rhyming lyrics in verse-chorus structures so ingrained in the human psyche that it will never die?
