    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.

    BTW, you can loathe #Poptimism not because you hate Pop Music, but because you care about it.

    But we shouldn't forget that #GothMagazines of old were often just giving descriptions of Albums & Singles, not real reviews much less negative ones.

    Let's avoid looking back at the past with rose tinted lenses.
