i don't think this is a bad time musically at all, good music never goes away, it just gets less exposure. at the moment major record companies are shitting themselves because of the increase in people downloading music, they try to combat this by putting out music that is as disposable as possible so by the time it's released its already going out of date, this is a terrible thing as far as the pop charts are concerned, but how many of us actually judge success in terms of sales?
the boy and girlband thing is dying a death and has been reduced to reality tv status - the lowest of the lows, and cheesy dance had its day about 10 years ago.
recently i have noticed that kids have been getting sick of chart music and getting into music seriously at a younger age which inspires them to pick up a microphone or learn an instrument themselves.
pop music in general is becoming stale and whenever that has happened in the past it has led to great things, the real people take over for a while.
there will always be lulls and peaks in the quality of what the media is hyping but in the end everyone always has something they love. and if you don't then decide what it is that is missing and do it yourself, i'm sure someone will relate to it.
