Indeed, for most of the nineteenth century, Music hall and variants were popular music, not classical or romantic composers.

I was taking the term "pop music" not as "popular music" (genrally) but as the songs that get played 800 times in an hour every day on the radio. All of it is horrible in my opinion... I used to listen to a rock radio station that had bands like Limp Bizkit, Korn, Linkin Park and Disturbed along with a few others which I forgot.
Now, I just use it as an alarm to get up and it's the same folkish, country music that shouldn't even be in the same universe as rock. Either that or songs that are trying to jump on the dubstep bandwagon with a "Look! We can do it too!". I rarely hear rock on that station anymore which is pretty sad.
It's stuff like that which is why I've stopped listening to any radio and stopped taking music "advice" from people. Why isn't there a metal radio station? Or even an industrial one? That would be damn awesome.. but noo... all we get to have is this shitty pop music. It's the same 5 songs constantly.

You really need to lighten up, seriously. Good songwriting does crop up occasionally within the pop spectrum and you're just missing out on good stuff if you write if all off categorically. I acknowledge that a good portion of it is crap, but the more you complain about it and choose to waste your energy hating it the more THEY WIN (sort of...)
If you don't like the radio, then don't listen, it's that simple, really. If it's at work and you can't turn it off, then tune out mentally or open your mind a little.
Also, there are literally bajillions of metal or industrial radio stations online.

You haven't got the faintest idea what you're talking about.

There is of course the fact that people go where the money is and the money is in turning out new Justin Biebers and music from those new Justin Biebers. Mainstream radio is bought and paid for. That battle is lost. You'll never get anything else on there ever again.
But there are plenty of sources for your preferences.
