Then again, if you don't accept the premise that 'all forms of pop
entertainment have consistently declined since WWII', then the whole
argument kind of dissolves , doesn't it?

To say that all forms have declined would probably be mistaken, since rarely
can anyone make all encompassing judgments without some exceptions.
However, jazz has certainly declined since the 50s, rock and roll wasn't
invented until after the war, so it's hard to relate that form to anything
other than a nascent pre-war state, and Brittany Spears was not born until
much later. So, you have a point. And who knows? As the general social
IQ drops, maybe one day hip hoppers will be lamenting the fact that their
own "art" has declined. I can't wait.


If you followed hip hip, you'd know that some fans have been saying that
for years now.

Hard to imagine that the bottom of the musical barrel COULD decline ;-)

We've ended up arguing "taste" here, never a very fruitful endeavor and I
think our moderators have been very patient while we took this little
excursion. But I think it's time to get back to audio gear.
