The harsh reality is that no "music" worthy of that term is currently being
created...or HAS been in the last decade or so...?! Listening to any 
"current
pop hits" source (radio or Internet) will confirm that they are only 
REcycling
the same stuff?! Current "pop music" ("Urban Dance") is nothing more or
less than relentless repetition of the same riffs/licks/beat that made a
star of the late James Brown c.1962...?!
