Yes. What the different kinds of cleverness are though...
But are there that many non-clever pop acts? I mean, Britney's always come off as dumb in her interviews, but lots of her songs are hella clever. Most of the teenpoppers now are smart. Stefani and Ferg play dumb but are obviously really witty. I think the closest we get to actual really dumb pop is thug rap like 50 Cent, and the ign'ant southern stuff like Dem Franchize Boyz. Which I adore. Maybe this is why I feel like I have to rep so hard for morally reprehensible sex'n'violence hip-hop.
