Why does all new pop music sound the same?

That is an excellent 20min synopsis of this Horror Story:
"The Song Machine: Inside the Hit Factory"
I could not finish the book (too disturbing for me) but it finally "flipped" me onto "classical" for 90+% of my listening. I still follow a few "new" acts like Steven Wilson, David Sylvian, Bjork but the only recent 'top 100" album in my collection is "Black Star". Makes me feel old...

I agree with @chayro that the horror of the Video and the book it is based upon is not generations gap or compression. As mentioned in the book, teen wants to listen to something different from what her/his older brother/sister is listening to, so there is no need to go poetic about old geezers or noncompoops. It is an intentional Manipulation, or mind-f$&k at the Industrial level, something Robert Fripp (king crimson) been bitching about for the last 20+ years.
i want to grab my crutch and hit our young poster here for not getting the simple 20min message (I do not expect anyone under 30 to actually read the book!). Then I want to hug this kid for listening to some real good music produced nowadays. I would love to add more to the list he/she provided (Orb, Flaming Lips, Marjorie Fair, Deepchord, Crippled Black Phoenix/SeDelan, Underworld, TesseracT, Therion, Lycia, Assemblage 23,... the list is long) but why bother? Bruckner under Celibidache or Tchaikovsky under Monteaux, or Mahler under Bernstein: I would also have to mention those before getting out of breath, and then I would look like an "old man". Why bother?

Amen!  Requiem for a Nun seems like an appropriate term of WF for Top 30... ;-(

@inna  yours is a Beautiful illustration of the @chayro point made a day-two ago that you cannot say ANYTHING without being ridiculed!

I will bite... for one, Finnish language is the only language Not having any roots in any other Human languages, no explanation to this glitch found so far. Except that maybe somehow the folks there survived the latest Ice Age 12-13 thou years ago and kept talking...

Second, (and not that I care): I had a misfortune of traveling all over the globe and somehow I still fondly remember me visiting Karelia (piece of Finland grabbed by Russians), so the snippet about Finland being whatnot or whatthat feels a bit, how to put this, f#$%^-&*... But I have no doubts that all Finns are dreaming about visiting 5th Ave or Beverly Hills or experiencing the world-famous Hwy 405 traffic here... ;-)

I like the sound of my story better, so I will stick with it, not with Google. And before you ask, yes the Earth is flat! I am one of those...
Glad that my bad and your generous wisdom illustrated my original point, once again.
