What I've always loved is how people tend to have absolutely no problem with elitism in the visual arts, or film, but will defend chart pop music till they die. This sort of hypocrisy is most noticeable in journalists from New York. It's a stupid position. When you defend chart music, you are saying that there is as much merit in 2 Fast 2 Furious as Man With a Movie Camera.
Think about that whenever you say that a Britney Spears song is 'not that bad' or that Justin Timberlake is 'well crafted'.
Just think.

Well I feel basically the same way about all arts as I do about music. It's an extremely subjective thing and it depends what you want out of the art, and what it's supposed to be to you. It's all about what the person is looking for and what they think something should be.
And uh I don't think anyone here is "defending pop chart music until they die." I'm defending the rights for people to listen to pop chart music without being looked down upon by music snobs and their indier-than-thou elitism.
KharBevNor:
No, but someone will come in here saying how good chart pop music is and arguing for its artistic integrity. It is inevitable.

Well then that's a situation where I probably would say that that person actually is misguided. It's ridiculous to listen to that kind of music for "artistic integrity." Anyone who listens to Justin Timerblake for deep lyrics is probably a little bit stupid.
KharBevNor:
Nah, it's something to do with the people being right and 'serious' music being full of straight white men, or something.
I can't really remember.
SeanBateman:
Man if you can't hear the difference between a Michael Jackson or the new JT and something like Dream Street, then you're just very simply foolish. And if you can't respect the artistry that goes into a really good pop song, from producer to writer to insturmentals etc, then you're even more foolish.
