I'm not digging any holes. You've continually shifted the goalposts to suit your argument.

Your view of the pop industry is exceedingly narrow, as you referred to me as someone who isn't a fan of mainstream pop acts. How you came to this conclusion, you should probably explain to me.

In the context of your argument on what constitutes a mainstream pop act, then no, there is no respect to be had for those people. They are disposable and their popularity is market-driven. If you're specifically talking about music directed and marketed towards teenage girls, there is no respect for those people as artists.

You back up what you are trying to say. All I see is dismissal.
