I'm not in the city, so we don't have stuff like that. Just cheesy clubs.

Just because you don't like the song doesn't mean that its not music. Don't get me wrong, a lot of popular music is shitty but songs like "call me maybe" and such are actually alright the first 5 times. After I started producing music I found myself not hating country music and such anymore and I didn't bash it like I used to. I still prefer not to listen to Carly Ray whatever and Taylor Swift but the music they put out is far from shitty.
+1
Every time I hear a new Nicki Minaj or whatever song on the radio or TV, I always think to myself, "Maaaan, the producer must've spent a lot of time on that."

Effort != quality. They spent a lot of time making it loud.

They spent a lot of time making the mix great.
You can't deny on most pop songs the mixes are spot on for their purpose (radio/club play) but thats obviousy because they get done by professional engineers.

No, radio has its own limiters, which means hypercompressing it themselves was a mistake.
EDIT: It doesn't matter how long it took. If I take twice as long for the same results, am I more deserving of praise?

He didn't say radio specifically, stop trying to get all technical with how he worded something for the sake of an argument. Whether you hear them on the radio, youtube or if you download it, you can still tell the mixes on most of those songs are pretty spot on. And they should be because someone's likely getting paid a fair amount of money to do them.

The thing I find about pop music is that it's all the same formula. Every producer that produces house is the same. heavily sidechained lead with a vocal and the same melody for the entire tune.
It's what people like yes, and those tracks aren't indeed not bad for the first time you hear it, but it's just a shame that there is no diversity in pop music.

MTV2 (120 minutes/Gonzo) defined my teenage years, honestly haven't watched MTV since I was about 14-15 so a good 8 years or so though.

MTV has become whats wrong with the world imo.
Fake, trashy & no substance or artistic merit.
Brainwashing people to believe what they see is "cool"
A female friend of mine saw Chris Brown on MTV, she was going on about how cool he is etc... I mentioned how hes a scumbag that beats girls, she said she didnt care and continued to be mezmerized by the MTV (empty V).

MTV serves a purpose. I'm not the target audience and haven't been for at least 10yrs.
