Popularity vs Quality

[countrykidanthony]

---

sometime and somewhere in the 60's and early 70s, popularity equates quality and often most of those garage bands or "indie" bands are either copycats of what's already popular or innovative. But the latter is actually scarce.

Fast forward the late 90s up to this moment. does popularity still equates popularity? Save for U2, Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Mae, and the New Moon soundtrack, most of today's mainstream artists/albums seems to stray away from the popularity=quality. Most of today's popular artists/albums don't seem to have good quality anymore.

Many music fans gravitate towards the indie stuff for some quality but the scary thing 'bout this is that some may like a certain indie bands due to hype or obscurity than music-wise. But this case is not that prominent compared to the mainstream culture's liking a band because they're so hot!
