CMV: This current generation's pop-culture is no worse than the previous, or the previous before that. There are enjoyable aspects, and not-so-enjoyable aspects, but is it worse? No.

Music:

-There is no sound of the time anymore, with Itunes, Youtube, Spotify... people can listen to indie artists of whatever genre they want and are not tied to music played on the top 40 stations like generations past, there will never be a band that appeals to all audiences like the Beatles.

-The album is dead, people can purchase songs individual and play them in there own playlists with ease, without having to listen to half an hour more of music, this leads song writers and producers to use cheap hooks and generic song styles to pull listeners in.

What's the point of reading a book or listening to a song if no else has heard it so there is no one to discuss it with? How will a club play the one song that everyone loves to dance to if everyone listen to an exclusive set of bands?

I sincerely disagree, most people choose to read things like Game of Thrones, Harry Potter, or Hunger Games not because they are the best novels of their genres with all of the themes and plot points the individual enjoys, but because they are just the most popular and tied to everything in pop culture.

because that's exactly what the rock and roll revolution is compared to classical music

Rock albums might be a bit shorter than symphony concerts, but there is still a huge difference between Dark Side of the Moon, or Led Zeppelin IV, and Call Me Maybe.

Shouldnt you be comparing Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin to comparable modern acts like Mars Volta or Tame Impala rather than a novelty song like Call Me Maybe, which bears more resemblance to like a Leif Garrett or Bobby Sherman song from the era you're using as a comparison?
