If this is meant by cheesy and lacking substance then the answer will be a big yes. Don't know if it is worse than 20 years ago, but since I cannot imagine there is any worse music, the answer may be yes

Coming to think of it, I recently found this song on youtube, which I guess sounds a bit like pop, which I find briljant:

If you had to choose one age that you would have to be for the rest of your life, what age would it be? 

[Bob]

25 or 26.  Old enough to be taken seriously.  Young enough to be young.  I suppose physically that old.  Mentally, I'd like to get wiser but that takes effort beyond just aging.  I wouldn't mind staying physically 25-26 a living for a long, long, long time.  Then I might actually get some things done...

Lady Gaga?

[sevencircles]

A: She is one of very few popstars that would have made no matter what timeperios she started. A true entertainer, not the most talented out there but still with that little extra something. She is trying to hard to pretend that she is something she isn´t though. She is 100% female in every respect and not intersexed or hermaphrodite or anything.

Q:Do you think that the most famous classical pianists focuse too much on old warhorses and forget about many of the great young composers out there?

That was not an answer to my question at al!!  Maybe if I asked : "How much sleep do you need.... " that could be an answer (a boring answer but an answer).... or if you said: " as many as I need"... but your answer wasn't an answer to my question at all! You're disqualified!     

I won't answer the next question because I have no idea. So someone else should.
