Why does all new pop music sound the same?

It sounds the same to all of you because you are OLD.  Don't you all remember your parents saying to you "all your music sounds the same".  Old people have been saying that to younger music fans since 1955. New music sounds different to young people.  Your grandmother couldn't tell the difference between Bob Dylan and Bobbie Sherman.  

For all you old folks holding on to your walkers, complaining about contemporary music, and wondering why your kids don't like Rush, John Denver and Motorhead, you need to get your head out of the sand, see some new shows and quit talking about your musical aches and pains:
