I think the point is that there never was any. It's like how people complain about the loss of family values... the "traditional family" never existed. Neither did "intelligent pop music." Pop music has always been watered down in the context of its era. And it's never been all that varied, either. There are always trends that dominate the radio.

Yes the charts are pretty senseless nowadays.
But they are mostly dance songs so I don't care because they are good at doing what they do making us dance.
I've got my faves when I need music with meaning and talent :cooffee2:
