When will 'Pop music' stop?

That is exactly what I said but in different words  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.

If the bands you love are probably listening to a lot of new music that fall well outside the prog spectrum, why would you limit yourself?... A few months a go there was an article about Geddy Lee's favorite albums, and most of them weren't prog, and many of them were relatively recent albums. He's a guy clearly always listening to new stuff...

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.

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!

Not soon enough.

pop = dad, so pop music = dad music

when the universe has reached an even temperature very close to 0K.

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...

Funny but when pop music was young, there were lots of people who really detested these new acts, like The Beatles, The Kinks, The Moodies and others. The jazzers among my older relatives made fun of me because I had such bad taste in music as they saw it. Not to speak of my grandmother, who only listened to classical music, she couldn't even stand jazz.     
Let the kids listen to Bieber, and the rest of todays popular acts. When they've grown up they'll either find something more interesting, or stop listening to music altogether because it wasn't their thing.
