one i acknowledge that pop music is kind of by definition crap, or at least most of it. i have a lot of critical things to say about past eras, too.

and i think that this kind of stuff goes WAY beyond the sort of mosaic style of hip hop, where they tried to create an original product from already-seen elements. this is more trying to create an unoriginal product from ostensibly organic, new elements. it's a true ripoff in that sense.
