Oh, yeah! I’m all for experimentation in pop/rock but,
maybe because of the, as you say, “ubiquity and canonicity”
coupled with the incessant reminders of people’s greatness,
(I guess those are the same things, aren’t they, so yeah...),
I gravitated toward other rock in other cultures - even if they
were themselves influenced by those same ever-radio-present bands.
Basically, I grew up with very different radio listening as a child.

I really can’t even admire the energy aspect, because it seems
to be wasted energy, but I guess I’m here, so ... maybe I can say
that it’s an age thing where the need to have constant stimulation
by the “new” somewhat diminishes, but I still just can’t help living in the
future rather than a past that clings to others my age (and often younger).
