Ya it was kind of a joke. As in, to be POP is to have been exploited. Despite the genre. Can't be mass popular if you haven't heard it before ya know what I mean...

You nailed it right on the head. I honestly believe, especially in Pop, some of these "artists" don't even belief in their OWN talent, but it's a terrific way to get rich.
I'd say that of mainstream genres, rock has historically turned out the most talent, however, jazz and blues top it (but aren't considered 'mainstream'). Notice I said historically... nowadays, great mainstream bands and musical talent are few and far between at best, since you really only see and hear bands as pushed by record companies. With that being said, the best bands in rock still are at least ten years old. Many of them are just posers with guitar picks, like Good Charlotte. But, rap-rock has trashed the rock genre for now, especially in America, and that scar will last quite a while in my book. The Australians and various European sources are still crankin' out some good rock. That is until our American noise pollutes their radio waves, as well.
In pop and hip/hop, well, it's all the same formulaic, cookie-cutter bull sh*t.

Rap has always been about the same recycled BS.
I've never listened to rap, don't care for it much at all, but rock , metal, etc.. has all gotten so old, so fast. All I have listened to for the past 6 months or so, The Beatles, 311, and AC/DC. <

You cant say anything else. Pop music is becoming Hip-Hop. Rock is dying. Trance WTF? True R&B has never been popular. Rap is not TV freindly. Hip-Hop is having more of an influence than any kind of music ever period. With that comes problems because for every talented band there is 5 that are just there to cash in on the fad (think rock in the 80s only multiply it times ten).
I love Hip-Hop but it is truly exploited now because its by far the most popular music so company know that they can market it the easiest. Anywhere you go the have Hip-Hop influences its really weird.

rock is pretty much churning out bullshit but it goes in stages. somebody makes a new sound and sells records soon everyone copies it and the radio gets saturated (80's hair bands, 90's grunge, 2000 rap metal)
that's why I only listen to yanni and kenny G
