Unfortunately it's the whole emo scene that seems to be taking over
You know; all the blokes dressing like birds claiming they're all bisexual listening to some heroin addict wearing too much lippy moaning about graves and stuff because it's like, way cool man.....hmm.
Basically all The Cure wannabes - not having a pop at Cure by the way they were great...but you know how it is when you get the wannabe bands...cringeworthy or what!
However with the massive explosion with the Arctic Monkeys we may (hopefully) see the indie scene creeping over into the top 40 a lot more; bands like The Strokes, The Killers and Kaiser Chiefs have shown what massive appeal they already have over the summer festivals and acheiving top 10 singles/albums.
Also there are a lot of the big name bands bringing out new material over the summer, for example Red Hot Chili Peppers, Oasis bringing out an EP of b-sides, Kasabian's new album (can't wait for that).
So hopefully in the near future we will rediscover pop music; get rid of the armani wearing 19 year old models and bring back the bands that have talent and can play instruments! I mean look at Duran Duran - a few blokes that could play their instruments and could write half decent pop tunes...don't like them at all like but compared to Westlife with their vomit worthy albums, Duran Duran made the best music to ever cross the airwaves!
