I don't think you are being fair! The latter two bands are doing exactly what they are supposed to do. Appeal to a certain percentage of the female population. It is a right of passage for girls to have a popband/male artist to obsess over. As a mother of a daughter I think it is a very healthy pastime and a learning curve and I l was very happy when she was going through that stage rather than obsessing over a real boy (that comes later) or into substance misuse.
You may think they are crap but that doesn't mean they are!
I also like Mumford and sons although I can't put them into a pop category as I see them as country and western lite!.that is if there is such a term. I just mean I don't like C & W but I like their stuff so guess it isn't pure C & W.




.The West London scene hipsters call it Nu-folk or something like that I think
