andy:@gioser ...of bad pop - my hopeful hypothesis. it seems that this recent wave of unanimously disliked "ARK" pop has inspired some critical thinking about the hit machine and its overly-exposed formula. potentially, this could cause otherwise apathetic consumers to think twice about the source and motivations behind music, and judge accordingly. either way, the level of popular dissent of this phenomenon is unprecedented, and just maybe will provide the impetus for an overdue music industry self-correction.
