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.

keyword: respected.
none of these musicians now deserve respect. i'm starting to lose respect for Jay-Z with every new album he's released after the Black Album. Adele's cool tho, her last album was a classic tbh. all these people just are out to make pop music, Jay-Z included, Adele doesn't really hope to make it. she is IT. she can make the industry go her, Jay Z doing pop shit on songs and getting outshined by Justin Timberlake on both now
