Wouldn't it be 'kid's music'? As in, "Back in my day, I walked to school barefoot through the snow, and music was good."
I call this Old Fogeyism, when the Olden Dayzers reminisce about how much better everything used to be, and how everything's gone to sh*te since then, and the music of today is not as good as the music of yesterday, and how the kids have no taste anymore...

It's kind of crazy how this thread, which was originally intended for discussing the terminology for the sake of dividing pop music as we know it into eras, descended into yet another environment about opinions on the marginal and mainstream musical poles ... in much less than 12 hours. ... Ermm ... No, it's not crazy.

No problem Jude, I didn't think bad of it!

I really don't have a problem with kids/teens listening to that sort of pop music these days (although I find it a little depressing), they could get just as much enjoyment and satisfaction out of it as I do coming across some rare difficult unloveable demanding prog album!

Oh, I don't know about prog musicians, I was more talking about myself as a prog music listener lol!

Unfortunately, it only takes watching a few minutes of a pop video music show to see that I'm totally the wrong demographic for what is being sold to kids/teens these days as popular music, and even worse when each song ends by telling us we can buy it as a ringtone for our phones, etc.

I had deleted my post, but I guess you caught it before that. Here I had just been saying that people can listen to what they like and enjoy, and then I contradict myself and tell you to change your listening habits. CryConfused Sorry LOL

Anyway, Back to topic

Ignore it. When you do that, it's eliminated from existence.
That is exactly what I said but in different words LOL
So, now you are contradicting yourself. (I hate it when people do that. Why can't they organize their thoughts?) You either boycott or ignore the crap that's going on today. Pick one.
I'd rather boycott it, but in a way they are essentially the same thing.
No, they ain't.

Couldn't agree more!

When you live/eat/sleep/breathe prog 24/7, you kind of live in a `proggy' bubble where you don't get much exposure to pop music. You create your own musical world around you, that shields you from all the latest pop fads and 15 minute wonders!

I don't lsiten to the radio, so I never turn it on to hear the latest pop songs. I play CD's in my car, which means I choose what I listen to. If I'm playing music at home, I play either a CD/LP/online stream of progressive/ambient releated music.

Once in a while a pop song will have real exposure that you somehow won't be able to avoid hearing endless times, but it's pretty easy to ignore the rest!

Why would we want to stop people from enjoying what they like? My mother used to love Barry Manilow (okay, this was the late 70s mind); now she loves Josh Groban. As a teenager I used to try to change my parents and get them to listen to what I thought was "good" music. (I was so insufferable. Okay, I still can be, if I don't watch myself!)  But now I'm just happy she has music she can enjoy. I'll tease her, but then she'll tease me about the music I like. If people like it, and it's not hurting anyone else, who am I to try to stop it...
