LOL, 4 years #Critics of the #MusicIndustry have been labeled #Rockists and Elitists 4 complaining about the decline in the quality of lamestream Music quality for decades, especially in #PopMusic, but we were right and something had to give.

A lot of this #Poptimist advocacy by middle aged adults just sounds like writers who are desperate to be hip with the young crowd but managing to do that in a condescending & wilfully ignorant way.
