I'd say some difference thru the last 25 years but there is a vast difference [ESPECIALLY in establishing the bubblegum/"wholesome" style of the genre] from anythin5b4g since the 80s [Spice Girls and Debbie Gibson notwithstanding, maybe it's a female thing] and the "groovy, outta sight" idols of my generation [1960s-70s]. I was sick of looking at Michael Jackson in the 80s-90s in National Enquirer, and the later stars and now worst Justin BieberI grew up not in the 1990s but in the groovy 70sso the Monkees type stuff [by stars wiotth no scandals, save David Cassidy [Partridges] Rolling Stone nudie shot]
is a bigger difference for me thru anything from 1980s on and it only got worse.
I could do mwithout half of the eighties songs, too trendy for my tastes.

The music from the late 90's and early '00s were MUCH better than today's music. On top of that, the artists back then were good performers/total package artists, unlike most of today.
Let's compare, shall we:
Late 90s artists:
Britney (in her prime)-
Christina-
N'Sync-
Brandy-
Compared to today's pop artists:
Selena-
Taylor-
Ke$ha-
Katy-
I will say that Bieber isn't as bad as most think he is. He's actually a decent artist, good performer, and makes better music than most of his peers. Not a fan of his ex-girlfriend or One Direction but Demi Lovato is decent too. -

Doing one on one comparisons, how do you think it would work out?
Something like:
Britney/Bieber-Selena (Not even talking about Britney&JUSTIN/Bieber&Selena)
Christina/Demi
One Direction/Backstreet Boys
Ke$ha/Pink
Little Mix/Spice Girls

The artists in the 90s were Much better than MOST of today's music you meant..Taylor is a conservative religious personTaylor and some of tofay's other artists (can't remember who exactly at the moment though) were infleunced by them.What about Backstreet Boys's gang banging or New Kids's thug. Many of today's artists (who, after all, were poushed by their managers to do the music they do) and fans WOULD agree. Beiber./.yecDue to the 90s music fans being still yuong, they're played,..tosday's pop artists are religious, so the are good role modelsI can't stand Bieber due to some of his religious stances or rape promoting. How do you feel about some 90s arts and 80s ones like Michael jackson or Nick Carter going around like rappers?
Amanda Bynes is hot and Lindsay Lohan is not.

Pop music has never been good. Sure it's more manufactured now but that doesn't make it better or worse, it's still designed for the masses and will eventually take a career to the county fair.

You're either showing memory bias (only remembering the good songs from the 80's) or are just tragically misinformed on the music of todays world. Don't let people like One DIrection and Justin Bieber sour your view of the whole industry when there are many many bands out there doing really amazing things. I would argue that as time progresses music gets better and better due to the sheer fact that we now have more power to listen to what we want. There were talented people in the 60's, 70's and 80's that just never got a shot because they had no platform to do so. The internet now gives those amateurs a platform and music is better for it.

Disagree, but show me some bands doing amazing things. Great music was more popular in the past, now you have to wade through piles and piles of crap to find it, so no, I'd say music is not getting better.

The Head and The Heart
The Avett Brothers (I and Love and You is the best album of the past 10 years)
The Black Keys
White Stripes
The Tallest Man on Earth
If I knew what you liked I could be more specific, but that's a good start. -

Jazz? Check out Gregory Porter. His song "Be Good" is one of my absolute favorites.
If you like Rock than you should know The Black Keys and The White Stripes. Some others from the 90's til now include The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Nuetral Milk Hotel, Radiohead, Paramore, The Strokes, The Weeks, Blind Pilot. And I'm only taking about stuff that is pretty mainstream. There's plenty of great rock stuff out there. -

The 90's had great music across the board.. Jodeci, EnVogue, Janet Jackson, After 7, Monica, Brandy, Usher, Mariah Carey,Brian McKnight.. That is just a few in the R&B realm. Tupac, Ice Cube, Scarface, Jay-Z,Nas.. And God knows how many other great hip-hop artists.. Pop had Madonna, Pink,Destiny's Child, Paula Abdul.. Hell even Michael Jackson was still making music throughout the 90's. This is just a small list of the unbelievably talented artists of that decade. Nothing being produced today can match it..
