What people fail to realize about popular music of today vs. popular music of yesteryear is that all you hear on the radio from the latter category is the good stuff. No radio station could get by playing one-hit wonders all day long. Additionally, these stations often play music that spans at least a decade. I'm sure you could name some mainstream songs throughout the last decade that aren't absolutely awful. A pop station of today has only what's popular right now, and as new songs come out others are replaced. Most of those songs will be abandoned after the artist's fifteen minutes of fame are up. (just think, one day the joke in my avatar will make no sense at all)
If I asked you what year
this song was from, what would you say? There are still people making music in the genres that were popular years ago. We live in a time where music can be obtained and shared more easily than ever before. Rather than spending time ranting and raving on the internet about the inanity of popular music (and really,
was it always as good as you remember?), go out and listen to something new. If it's good, tell your friends about it. Complaining about the popularity of Lady Gaga is useless, because you can't just force millions of people to stop liking what you don't like. (and side note: she actually does have more musical talent and education than many popstars of any era. find some old videos of her pre-Gaga and you can hear it for yourself, assuming someone hasn't posted some already)
