That's the same like if you said Beatles were pretty faces with an ok voice, and maybe they were and it was Brian Epstein who made them big, but who cares? Weren't they remarkable?
No I don't listen to Pearl Jam anymore, it's a closed chapter and if recording new music was banned today, there there's still enough good stuff to explore for hundreds of years if you look for good music outside of genres.
Let me get back to the fact that we're discussing the pop scene of today, what's available in media, what's on MTV, we're discussing this idiotic display of inability to put out anything original apart from more audio effects, more sweaty ebony asses or more golden chains.
It's actually quite similar to the pop scene of the 80's with all the new romance shit and crazy colours, crazy hairstyles, silly lyrics and way too much energy.

You're just mad because you're old now and want things to be the way they were when you were young.
The fact is there has always been crap and there's always been good shit. There aren't really any certain periods that were 'good for music' or not, your perception has just changed.
