Well I've never heard any of the musicians live. I do know that when I hear a song by these artists it is catchy; well written in their genre. Justin Timberlake is talanted, look at what he did with the world in the span of three years. I don't listen to any of these artists exclusively but I am often humming "Hurt" or "Sexyback" or "Kiss".
I'm not saying this to be a smug asshole who refuses to be proved wrong, it's just how I feel. I just feel like my generation has lost one of the greatest things in art; appriciation.
I understand what you're saying Jinn and it's a great point but I still feel this way

I care because it's who I am; I've been studying performance in some aspect my whole life, who I am has always been a performer; mostly non-musical, but, yes, I've sung and played parts in musical theatre. Quite a few if I think about it. I've studied rudimentry music theory in high school and first and second year university. I play, fairly well, six instruments. I listen to music and smile. Music makes me smile. It upsets me when people try to take that from me, and from my peers. I don't expct anyone to like everyone, I just hope that people have enough respect for their peers to respect their choices.
Thats why I care. Maybe.
