Come on, it was a joke, or did it really need a daft smiley?

Yeah him and his fellow kookspiritor Alex Jones make the Daily Mail look like the Guardian...

Might be to do with the fact that you've gone off topic somewhat in that post....

He's such a terrible person. He obviously is a failed musician and is extremely bitter about it.

Saying that I'm brainwashed into listening to music, I mean seriously There are plenty of artists I don't like

I tried again and lasted a minute this time, but his voice and sneering attitude are causing me actual discomfort.

Well I definitely wouldn't make it as a popstar. He has very extreme views about nothing in particular, and an annoying voice to boot. A lot of what he says isn't even true, and there are a variety of producers around, and their songs don't all sound the same.

He treats the public like they're sheep unable to make their own opinions. His voice alone sounds incredibly less intelligent than modern music's lyrics.

I think he's part of that modern phenomenon of would-be vloggers.
I don't think he's saying that all the producers are exactly the same but that they account for an undue number of the hits in the top 40. And It is of course the very definition of formulaic music..working from established, successful models.

I was listening today to a curated list on Spotify which purported to be a 'new pop music revolution' list and so many of the songs sounded the same: the rambling, self-centered, humourless lyrics; the accompanying music nearly entirely made up of electronic sounds and with nice echoing beats; a touch of melancholy about the tone and the odd nice melody. That's modern pop music, it is pretty generic, accomplished but dull.

As for the public making their own mind, surely the chart is the judge of that?
