Actually my girlfriend & I have gotten into Britney of late. Oh but I won't go into that. I did harbor quite the appreciation for Ace of Base for awhile, too.
But aside from that, top-40 radio makes me sick sometimes, but that seems to phase. Nirvana and NIN were on the top of the same charts a few years ago, and before them it was other commercially determined and codified bonbons
But many of us seem to concur: The genre doesn't determine the quality. And that doesn't take into account their interconnections and interactions. I've grown to really detest the question, "What kind of music do you listen to?" Rather than rattling off a list (which I can rarely do on the spot anyway), I usually just say bossanova, and let 'em decide whether or not to pursue that, or start a conversation in a different way.

i've long abandoned MTV since AMP faded away. i've often wondered what the explanation for the phenomenon of mainstream was. i guess it's an evolutionary thing or maybe a human psychological consideration, but who knows if there is a concrete theory about it.

Ah whatever Much Music {MTV of Canada, but we play more music and MTV plays more shows} plays mostly crap, but it does play some good stuff, I dont sit around and watch it all day, just..... flippin' through channels.
There have been lots of good Top 40 groups or artists.

If you like pop, you should be stabbed with a rusty potato peeler and thrown out of a window.

Uh uh... thats on a parallel line with being racist. You cant say something seriously like that and expect me or anyone else with half a brain to believe it.

Well, corporate interests in the music business certainly aim at the wants-to-belong-to-___ factor in a potential consumer. Corporate marketing everywhere does that. That begins to explain the modern mainstream, anyway.
