We could be waiting for a long, long time. There's always going to be pop music because obviously some sort of music has to be the most popular. But as regards pop music continuing to be manufactured crap it just depends on how long the majors can stick to the business model of pedaling lowest common denominator rubbish. Maybe some day when the last record company collapses will this breed of pop music die out.
Besides if there was no pop music then there would be no alternative music either and things would just be boring.

The same crappy music that is around today has always been around, just different artists and different fads.

I don't think pop music will die out any time soon. Pop music will continue to exist as long as there are people willing to buy it.
If music like Justin Beiber, Ke$ha and Lady Gaga stops selling at some point, the pop industry will only have to reinvent itself (probably to a different demographic) to continue making a profit. That's why pop music sounds different every decade. People get tired of current pop music, so the industry attempts to "freshen" it up. Just my two cents |

It bothers me that people have started identifying "pop" as a very specific music genre. It's not. It's whatever is popular. Rock was pop. Disco was pop. Grunge turned pop. That's why bands like Creed and Bush existed. In Norway I'm sure there was a time Black Metal could be considered pop. So yeah, there will always be pop.

Bad music is nothing new. There were bad music in the 60's too, but we don't hear much about it, you know. We hear about The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, and The Beach Boys. The bad music that is around now WILL eventually stop selling, but I don't know how the *firetruck* it got popular in the first place.
