I can clearly remember plenty of rubbish in the charts in the 90's and I'm sure there was plenty of rubbish in the charts in the 60's and 70's as well. Over time all the rubbish usually gets forgotten about and filtered out, and all the good stuff is what music fans will remember from a certain era. As I said it's nothing new and writing articles complaining about it is nothing new either.
