The Pop of Today Vs Pop Of Yesterday

lol also very true. Plus they've been open about who influenced them, from older rock to contemporaries, so I mean where's that criticism neardeathman?

I think the problem with Pop today is that you have the same small cadre of people producing all of the popular music and relying on the same tropes and influences over and over again, so pop sounds like hip-hop and hip-hop sounds like pop and it's all very generic and samey and bland. Does anyone even listen to this stuff anymore besides 12 year old girls?

12? I think a large portion of the population younger than 30 listens to modern mainstream HipPop.

I listen to mainstream but also indie artists. It's not about trying to be "cool" by listening to unknown bands with small followings or from decades ago, that's just prentious. Instead, like the artists you enjoy no matter what their popularity or following. I get the feeling that some people on here say they listen to certain artists just so they will get more respect from other members. I understand teenagers tend to do that but eventually you have to grow out of that habit and enjoy the music that you do like.

I stand corrected. Clearly there are a lot more people listening to crappy generic 'Pop-Hop' than I realized.

Agreed. I'll admit I used to do that too. Now I listen to whatever and don't give a ****. Bumping Florence and the Machine in a shop full of manly men has earned me some of the most rewarding looks of disgust ever. Mwahaha.

"Sorry dudes but Lungs is one of the best albums ever" :P

I think a lot of people don't get how people like us can genuinely enjoy drastically different genres equally.

There is not a single shred of evidence out there that supports the notion that there is any new innovative quality music being made out there that compares to The Beatles, Stones, Who, or Beach Boys for that matter. It is a fluff with little substance.
