Agreed but if that statement is to be held true it should make just as much sense that people listening to modern pop acts are thinking the same way but get criticized in the same vein. People listen to newer pop artist like Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, Pink, Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson, Rihanna, etc. for the same reasons.
Props to you Sooty! Katy Perry made a really fun song:
Lady GaGa made some fun stuff too:
I am not such a music snob that I wont listen to the 2000's music. I know the songs I posted are pop, but they're fun and not meant to be taken seriously.
The 2000's has brought some really great bands like Evanescence, Wolfmother, The Strokes, and Muse.
