I'm sorry but some of the real 'hot' stuff today, the things that's on TV 24/7 on main station radio's all of them, under commercials, on the internet, have countless ads running for them, it's really more product placement and a form of entertainment but it's not really music anymore, music is a part of the item being shoved down your throat but it's not the product music like it was for hundred of years, and frankly the last years it really has become something very weird and plastic sounding, popular and mainstream music always existed but in general one could say the bar has been lowered quite a bit and at the same time raised to different standards.
Although very ingenious forms of production take place often showcasing the latest possible somehow it's not as rich in musical form (I'm being mild here) and it kinda appeals to very very basic instincts of mankind, and doesn't challenge anything in consuming it. And it is designed for just that, consuming it.
And the last 10 or so years the variety on mainstream channels has shrunk immensely they used to offer everything even older music on the channels (but I guess since they can't sell cd's or their older catalogues anymore because that music is so easily available there's no point in pushing it to the people anymore)
Something did change over the last decade and there have been some really strange trends going on, but hey it's okay I shut it out, I hardly watch any TV, don't put on the radio, discover the music to talking about music with people and check out stuff what I might like.

Hmm also noticed something strange today my whole city (little place in Belgium) has new commercial boards in the streets, around bus stops and on the market places, and they are all by clearchannel.
