Yep - just take a look at the garbage the masses listen to...is it any wonder society is in such a mess?! Remember these ''pop stars' are role models for young people, but with the popularity of rap music and the degenerates who make it, i find it very worrying that kids may want to emulate them.
Also, whatever happened to lyrics...?! In most of the below mentioned songs, there aren't any to speak of...just some stupid, repetitive chorus, usually related to sex or some other base instincts...I think we're going backwards, to the days of the cave-man...
One thing i like about other european countries - they really like their rock music. Britain is a nation of delinquents and ignoramuses and this is reflected in their musical tastes:

Lady GaGa, Cheryl Cole and La Roux have helped pop overtake rock as the best-selling music genre in the UK.
Some 33.5% of singles sold in 2009 were classed as pop by the Official Charts Company (OCC) - up from 28% in 2008.
A further 18.9% were R&B, including JLS, Beyonce, Dizzee Rascal under the OCC's guidelines. Almost 9% came from hip-hop acts like the Black Eyed Peas.
But rock's share slumped from 31% to 24.5% - led by Rage Against the Machine, Kings of Leon and Kasabian.
Geoff Taylor, chief executive of record label body the BPI, said: "There's no doubting that 2009 was a vintage year for pop - some fantastic records led to a strong performance by the genre in both albums and singles.
"British urban talent shone in the R&B sector, virtually doubling their sales last year thanks to Tinchy Stryder, Dizzee Rascal, Chipmunk, N-Dubz and Taio Cruz."
In the albums market, acts classed as pop took 29%, up from 25% the previous year, with R&B on 9.6%.
Rock's share fell from 35.7% to 31%, with Kings of Leon's Only By The Night the only rock album to sell more than a million copies.
