I cant listen to the radio, havent done so in over 10 years, it does my head in with all the recycled crap, once youve heard one song about getting drunk youve heard them all...and who cares how big your house is or your 10x mistress'?
I prefer timeless classics now such as movie scores and orchestral pieces. They inspire me more than 'regular' music anyway, which is why we all listen to music in the first place isnt it?

I think what you're not realizing is there were pretty pop stars back then, too. Think about disco. Mindless music has existed forever, but it doesn't stay relevant, so only the good stuff gets remembered. If you go back and look at the No. 1 hits of the 1960s and 1970s, you'll see a mix of respected and memorable acts and groups you've probably never heard of, at least other than their one big song.
In 40 years, they'll be talking wistfully about the days when Arcade Fire and Adele and Jay-Z were big-named musical acts. They'll have forgotten about fun. and Demi Lovato and 2Chainz.
