This is really defensive for no reason. I am fully aware that schlocky mainstream lowest common denominator slop is not new. At all. And I didn't claim that it was new.

A garbage top 40 song from the 60s can be just as bad, or worse, than a garbage top 40 song today. The point isn't that bad music is new, the point is that bad music is bad. And that there's a lot of it. Which is also true of film, books, and really all forms of art. Admitting that is no vice.
