I guess there's a reason I don't listen to any music recorded in the past 15 years

Pop music in the past 15 years includes pure-pop, rap, r&b, rock (all forms) and others. To say that only Pure-Pop is failing to produce talented artists is a lie. Tell all the manufactered bands that are warped by their record labels and release half-ass albums that are marketed and sold solely to make money. Its not uncommon for a band/artist to give up thier individuality and own talent just to conform to whatever their a&r rep wants them to be.
Anyone and everyone in the music business gives up a piece of themselves as soon as they sign to a label (indie and major). Its just a matter of how much they give up.
