Distressing trends in modern pop music

I fail to see the distinction, probably because there isn't one; those songs are played that frequently on 'pop radio' stations because those songs are successful on the Billboard charts, and they make it to those charts by way of single sales.
--- Quote from: Lummer on 15 Aug 2013, 01:35 ---Overall, I'd say I'm cautiously optimistic. I mean, we still have Gotye, and Sting is still alive so there's plenty of hope.

aside from The Song I Shall Not Refer To By Name, Gotye is fucking amazing.
Lummer:
Even THAT SONG is a stroke of undiluted genius in my book.
KingOfIreland:
Indeed, simple, straightforward music need not necessarily be bad. I enjoy it too.
Patrick:
let me qualify my statement: that song used to be good. now it just makes me want to suicide every time I hear the familiar sounds of the intro pop up on the radio at work.
KingOfIreland:
Oh jesus, I hate the radio at work too.
The most distressing part about pop music (Apart from the huge amount of drivel) is that I hear the same fifteen songs on repeat every other hour and I have to use valuable battery life on my phone on listening to the classical radio station, which is actually really good but too focused on baroque.
