Hm. Anyway, my 2 cents.
Pop is not all bad. There are some amazing artists that are in the genre, one that sticks out to me is Amy Winehouse. Hate her or love her, girl can sing. Anyway, I think that there are a lot of artists who are pop who have talent, but labels stifle creative expansion in exchange for money. Not calling them a bad guy for that, they run a business, and if a business works, don't change it. When someone finds something that works, it's imitated by other artists hoping to cash in on the sound, and often times, to me, it's the "posers" that suck. It's frustrating, because if some of these bands were given more of a chance to expand and come up with more of their own material, many have huge potential.
And then you have the artists that have no talent and no potential, but are marketed because the only ones that are buying new albums in large quantities are suburban tweens.
