If it sounds repetitive to you, that's not the same as it being repetitive.

No, as per the study I linked, it doesn't just "sound repetitive to (me)", it is more repetitive than it has been in 60 years. And it is getting progressively more homogenous. That's not a personal opinion of mine - that's a fact. That there are exceptions (that's great!) does not change the overall trend/the overall effect of listening to Top 40 for hours.

If some of it is repetitive shit, some of it isn't.

More and more of the former with every passing year. Less and less of the latter.

Pop music is not the enemy.

I never said it was "the enemy". I said I don't like it, and I told you why. It's growing more and more homogenous with every passing year (not an opinion), and that - in my own personal opinion - makes it worse. If that doesn't, in your own personal opinion, obviously you're still going to enjoy it! Or rummage through the ever-increasing monotony to find the gems. I don't care to, personally. You might.

I'm always going to be a little skeptical of any study that has such a headline-grabbing thesis... More importantly, though - as you do point out - that kind of broad study is only going to have validity on the level of very broad analysis, not on the level of analysis of individual pieces of music or performers. If you think that pop as a whole is getting worse over the passage of time, to me, that's a different opinion than saying pop is intrinsically shitty. The first one is at least considering it seriously and giving it the option of being good and allows you to consider individual songs on their merits; the second one is the one that just dismisses it out of hand. Rummaging through monotony to find gems doesn't bother me; what annoys me is the idea that there couldn't possibly be any gems because 'pop music is awful'.

Again I don't really care whether you listen to pop music, I'm just saying, it's not all awful and it's not all about awful topics. That's just not true.

I agree, "all" is very different from "most", and "an increasingly greater proportion". I did not mean to imply that all pop is shit, and I apologize for giving that impression. I've personally been done with the genre for a while, and I was just explaining why.

Rummaging through monotony to find gems doesn't bother me

Well then, I bow to your perseverance! It is far greater than my own. Enjoy your gems.
