The Pop of Today Vs Pop Of Yesterday

When I think about modern pop music ,usually what comes to my mind are words like formulaic,dumbed down and lowest common denominator.
For pop music everything starting really going downhill in the 90's .
Mind you there was horrible pop music in every decade,but also great music with interesting sounds and artistic value.
Some examples of melodic works that managed stand the test of time are albums like Pet Sounds, Thriller and Rio and songs like Everybody wants to rule the world (Tears for Fears) And Enjoy the Silence (Depeche Mode)
