Just one component of everything which is currently wrong with pop music, but yes, hugely depressing.

It's not the only creative industry, by any means, where content is being dictated by current trends in how producers perceive audiences now interact with the relevant media, rather than being appropriate to the material, though, and I speak from personal experience.

Creatively impoverishing for the consumer and artist both.
