I could say the same for Metal though. To me it just sounds like someones putting the bins out, it has no substance at all, it's just "lets see how hateful and emo we can be today" and add an electric guitar. At least with pop it doesn't take itself seriously, and has no boundaries, and there are a lot of talented (and musically educated) producers around that have more creativity in their little finger than a generic long haired metal group, lol.
