Yes, credibility is different than respect. Credibility would relate to Gwen Stefani's artistic integrity: is she an artist because of the art or because she is a marketing brand tool? Britney Spears is little more than a vehicle for advertising and a record company cash cow.

The idea of respect has become so twisted and mishapen by people today. Respect includes reverance, someone must be revered to be respected.

Any reverance in the pop media is false and temporary, and based on who has an album or a product to push.

Madonna is probably the most respected female in the pop industry. She's went through countless re-inventions, scandals, flops etc. yet she is still there at the top and is pop royalty at this point.

You stating that pop-culture is based on trends doesn't make you Einstien.
You are a huge fucking idiot. Seriously, you must have been slapped with a brick when you were a kid.
