Where is the love?

So we're all resigned to a bit of a slump in pop and teenpop, but... am I imagining it, or is everyone getting spikey about music in general? I know "I Love Music" has rarely lived up to its name in the last 5 years, but it does feel like a lot of stuff (new stuff) is getting ACTIVE dislike more than seems usual (or healthy, to me).

Is this because things are "on the move" and people are trying harder to be "taste makers"?

Or perhaps I am just imagining it, and no explanation is needed.

Settle my mind, or solve my conundrum.

lots of new stuff is great! i spend well over half my time listening to new stuff. lots of new stuff is horrid but as long as it stays out of my way i don't mind...

i am positive and gushing on ILM far more than i am spiky.
