er well prolific literally describes a popular song, so maybe you got the words wrong there? But if you mean "great" then tomato, tomahto. People will always disagree what is "great". Not sure why using the word "artist" would upset you either. It's a reasonable describer too.



Well sure theres a difference. But imo it's not a bad one. Ill take pop from the 2010s over pop from the 1960s anyday. It might be an interesting topic, but usually when it's discussed it just turns into a shit throwing contest to glorify older music ad nauseam



Not everyone loves music, so what?

Just like what you like.
Don't like something just because it's popular and don't dislike something just because it's popular. That's my opinion on it.
