I mean just because it's not old doesn't mean it's not good, a lot of pop artists (p!nk, Lady gaga, Mikey Cyrus, Demi Lavato, etc) don't use much or don't use any auto tune and write their own songs. Pop artists make their own songs and many do know how to play instruments, they also have great lessons like you should be true to yourself and follow your heart, and things could be hard but you need to persevere, rock and metal artists send messages you should....get drunk? Kill people? Love rock? I mean seriously what takes more talent, writing songs and playing a guitar or piano and write an uplifting song while adding in symbolism, putting on good shows, and trying to stick to your own view point while battling haters and society shunning you, or strumming three cords on a guitar while shouting about loving rock music? It's pretty obvious which genre is better. Even songs that could seem bad, for example, Barbie Girl, that song was a comment on society. Pop music is constantly evolving and it's about expressing yourself and breaking barriers while staying relevant and rock and punk and emo has stayed the same for years and is all about appealing to hipsters and old people and angsty teens. Have you seen young stars like Sabrina Carpenter? It's clear she really feels what she sings and she is relatable, she is, what, 15? Yet she shows talent, these so called "stuck up teens and preteens" need a lot of self confidence and courage to get up there and sing songs THEY wrote at the many risks of putting yourself out there. Not everyone can do that. Rock singers can't dance either. Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Kesha, Zendaya, Rihanna, etc are some awesome dancers, they just get hated on because too many people like them. Pop artists are very real. Like Sia, is the realest person ever. One Republic and Imagine Dragons, they are two extremely real yet radio friendly bands. Eminem is an awesome rapper. Rock artists even end up fading into pop culture. Whether you realize it or not pop rules the music industry. Rock sucks.

Dragonflymagic answered Sunday May 17 2015, 2:48 pm: If everyone liked the same things and acted the same way, basically we'd all be robots with no person choices or tastes because it would be all programmed into us. There is music out there that i wouldn't personally call music even, it just sounds like a lot of discordant noises that threaten to give me a headache. And I have a very wide range of music I like using your first two examples, Pink and Lady Gaga, Blues, Funk, Classic Rock, Celtic Music, Country music, Jamaican, Folk, Bluegrass and the list goes on. I get something out of all of those. But that's just me. With some music, what experts label it, isn't what I'd consider the gatagory it falls into for me. I make my own playlists on my pc. and some of the song that end up in Bluegrass were lableded rock or country or funk instead. Hon, its just personal taste. If all the people you hang out with prefer music that doesnt reflect your style, then based on how many other differences there are between you, the better idea, might be to go looking for some new friends, ( not necessarily to the extent of leaving old ones) but a group of people who have the same music and other tastes as you. tHAT is what most humans do, hang together with those they have lots in common with.
